This volume, "A Supplement to the Plays," edited by William Gilmore Simms, presents seven dramas often attributed to William Shakespeare but not typically included in modern editions of his complete works. This collection offers readers a unique opportunity to explore the contested boundaries of the Shakespearean canon and to consider the historical reception and attribution of these plays.

Each play is accompanied by notes and an introduction that delves into its history, authorship debates, and literary merit. Simms's editorial work provides valuable context for understanding the plays within the broader landscape of Elizabethan drama and Shakespearean scholarship. This supplement serves as an essential resource for scholars and enthusiasts interested in the complexities of Shakespeare's legacy and the ongoing quest to define his complete works.
