The Pictorial Edition of the Works of Shakespeare, edited by Charles Knight, the Second edition revised, Doubtful Plays, etc. Vol.8
 
Review of Titus Andronicus: Richmond Indiana Shakspeare Festival: An undated contemporary internet article observed the following:" Titus Andronicus is violent. It is gruesome. It is probably inappropriate for children. But so are most newscasts. And at the heart of Titus Andronicus is a specific and all-too-familiar form of human tragedy, in which the failure of empathy and habit of violence propels well-meaning citizens into cycles of ever-escalating revenge and gives free rein to the worst of human inclinations."
Titus Andronicus was a critically acclaimed box-office hit in Shakespeare's time. The play continued to please audiences and critics in performances during Shakespeare's lifetime and beyond. But from 1700 until recently, critics criticized the work as foul and vulgar, with few redeeming qualities.
The Shakespeare Apocrypha is a group of plays & poems that have sometimes been attributed to William Shakespeare but whose attribution is questionable for various reasons.
I'm sure that after 500 years, the true origins of these works are beyond my scope of knowledge. The fact that they are enthralling would seem more to the point, and I think you'll agree.
