[edit] Article needs real work

This article is confusing. For example, the PARAGRAPH that begins "Kyd languished in obscurity until 1773 when Thomas Hawkins, an early editor of the play, discovered that he was named as its author by Thomas Heywood in his Apologie for Actors" seems to say that Heywood mistakenly named Hawkins the author. Also, if he languished in obscurity, is all his fame noted later in the article a lie? Or did he languish in boscurity AFTER 16XX? 01:04, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
