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)

I recently read Orhan Pamuk's "Snow". There are quite a few references to Kyd, when Pamuk explains the dramatic scenes in protagonist turkish theatre. It is for the first time I am encountering with this name...any further information about Thomas Kyd is most welcome in this page —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.196.135.152 (talk) 17:33, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Versions of The Spanish Tragedy and his Hamlet were popular in Germany and the Netherlands for generations.

There may be no Kyd Hamlet, but it was popular in Germany? How do we know this? (fotoguzzi)
