There has been a discussion for nearly 200 years about 325 lines in the quarto edition of Kyd's "The Spanish Tragedy " (1592) which are thought to be composed by Shakespeare. The discussion recently has received considerable public attention. ( -->the Guardian , ---> New York Times)
How can one imagine such an "intimate" theatre collaboration between Shakespeare and Thomas Kyd , even though personal links between the two men have never been established. - The opposite is the case for Marlowe and Kyd: for two years before [1591] they had written together in a single room. (From Thomas Kyd interrogations: 1593)
