Like most playwrights of his period,
William Shakespeare did not always write alone and a number of his plays are collaborative, or were revised after their original composition, although the exact number is open to debate. Some of the following attributions, such as
The Two Noble Kinsmen, have well-attested contemporary documentation; others, such as
Titus Andronicus, are dependent on linguistic analysis by modern scholars; recent work on
computer analysis of textual style (word use, word and phrase patterns) has given reason to believe that parts of some of the plays ascribed to Shakespeare are actually by other writers.
