London, Oct 13: Experts have claimed that William Shakespeare may have penned parts of three Elizabethan-era plays after a new linguistic "fingerprinting" test discovered his fingerprints on the manuscripts.
The three plays - 'Arden of Faversham', 'The Spanish Tragedy' and 'Mucedorus', which were previously believed to have been written by others, will now be included in a new edition of works by the famous playwright, 'William Shakespeare and others: Collaborative plays', the Guardian reported.
A renowned Shakespeare scholar, Jonathan Bate, believes that the evidence shows that specific parts within those plays must have had input from Shakespeare.
Bate, professor of English literature at Oxford University, said.

You have to give Julie Taymor credit. She rarely repeats herself and brings a sense of creative vision to every project, making each effort unique. For every brilliant stage work, The Lion King, there is a creative misfire, Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark.

The Bard’s works have been interpreted and reinterpreted since they were first staged at the Globe Theater so it’s no surprise Taymor wanted to bring her own ideas to the script.
