AUTHOR:  Thomas Heywood? (Attrib.)

Authorship
Authorship of this play has been fiercely debated, and evidence currently available is lacking at best. Heywood was known to add his own prefaces, dedications, and a motto to his plays, none of which appear in The Fair Maid of the Exchange. He may have written three scenes and left the rest of the composition to a student of Shakespeare of Jonson. Heywood may also have written FME early in his career -- Edward IV and If you know not me were originally published anonymously.

It is difficult to define what makes a play strictly Heywoodian, but he was concerned with how he portrayed the home and business life of the English middle class.
