It seems like discoveries relating to Shakespeare happen all the time. I wrote about a manuscript of Sonnet 116 found among the papers of Elias Ashmole. Here are six other similar news stories from recent years, if you’d like to read more.

A tiny 17th-century notebook made an appearance on Antiques Roadshow and “its anonymous author has emerged as what is thought to have been the playwright’s first obsessive fan.”

A single handwritten page from the 16th century bought at an auction in Georgia may have been written by Shakespeare himself.
