Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Biographical Chronicle of the English Drama, 1559-1642, Vol. 1 of 2
Germany, and The Second Illaiclcn's Tragedy, Shakespeare's supposed writing for the Admiral's men at the Rose, and the like. All this literature (bless the mark!) will surely be spared if we can get a trustworthy record of what really was doing in the theatrical world in Shake speare's time and immediately after. One-third of the Variorum notes of editors would be saved, and the only loss would fall on the writers of popular handbooks on early dramatic authors, who would lose all chance of pad ding their stolen materials with futile and mutually destruo tive hypotheses of fictions, leasings, and chimaeras. It will perhaps be the readiest way to accentuate this statement if I now lay before the reader the plan on which the present work is disposed.
