Abstract
Abstract Over 25 years, Thomas Merriam has argued that Henry V was co-authored by Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe, and in his most recent publication ‘Is it time to reconsider Henry V’ (2023), he established differences in word length, which gives clear evidence. This article makes use of the R Stylo suite of stylometric tools and employs the Rolling Delta, Rolling Classify, and the General Imposters methods, all of which obtain the same result that Shakespeare used a Marlowe pretext in his composition of Henry V.
