Examen de autorías is a space devoted to computational attribution of authorship in Golden Age theatre at scale. The platform, developed by Álvaro Cuéllar and Germán Vega García-Luengos, offers stylometric results for an expanding corpus of around 3,000 plays by more than 400 playwrights, with the aim of supporting research and the testing of authorship hypotheses.

The texts have been modernized and regularized to allow comparison, and they have been cleaned as far as possible to reduce interference, such as stage directions and speaker labels. On this basis, the site allows attributions inherited from tradition to be compared with proposals derived from quantitative analysis of style. The aim is not to replace philological reading, but to provide additional, reproducible, cumulative evidence that can help guide future documentary and critical checks.

The corpus draws on open sources and contributions from researchers and groups, and also includes texts derived from automatic transcriptions of early printed books and manuscripts. We welcome queries, collaborations, and proposals to expand the corpus: if you have a work or know how to access one, write to us. We will acknowledge your contribution and share the analysis results.
