Dr. Darren Freebury-Jones stated, "I was astonished by just how close the dramatic language of Doctor Faustus actually was to Porter. His contribution is now revealed."
The research has shown that Henry Porter's comedic talent complements the tragic narrative of Doctor Faustus, illuminating the collaborative nature of Elizabethan playwriting.
The recognition of Henry Porter as a likely collaborator on Doctor Faustus sheds new light on both his own work and Marlowe's famed tragic narrative.
Collaboration in playwriting was common, often driven by the theatre manager's needs rather than the authors' preferences, as illustrated by Porter's frequent mentions in Henslowe's diary.
