A Funerall Elegye
, written for William Peter, was first edited by D. W. Foster in
Elegy by W. S.: A Study in Attribution
(Newark, Del., 1989). The poem's attribution to Shakespeare has
evoked a flood of debate: to cite from only one year, 1996, for
example in the
TLS
(26 Jan.; 9 and 16 Feb.; 8, 22 and 29 Mar.; 12 Apr.; and 14 June); in the
New York Times
(14 Jan.); in
PMLA
111, 1086-1105; and in
Studies in English Literature
, 36: 435-60. The poem's author, in fact, is unknown.

Cf. E. I. Fripp,
Shakespeare's Stratford
( Oxford, 1928), 75; S. Wells unhappily notices alterations in the floor of the chancel (
Daily Telegraph
, 22 Apr. 1995).
