The Elizabethan Stage, Vol. 4

by E. K. Chambers

The actor-list points to St. John’s, Cambridge, in 1606.

APPENDIX L
PRINTED PLAYS

[Preliminary Note.—This is a chronological abstract of plays, printed or entered for printing in the Stationers’ Register, of which either the entry or the possible date of production falls in 1558–1616. Some of the later plays are only included in deference to the conjectures of others as to their early origin in whole or in part. The list is little more than an index; details must be sought in chh. xxiii and xxiv. I think it is nearly self-explanatory. The plays marked T. in col. 1 are those of which the first entry in the Register is in connexion with a transfer of copyright; the name in col. 4 is then that of the transferrer. Titles of non-extant plays are marked with inverted commas in col. 3; some of them (cf. App. M) may not really relate to plays at all. The symbol (s) in col. 6 is used where the imprint indicates, not that a play is printed ‘for’ a stationer, but that it is ‘to be sold by’ a stationer; it is not quite clear how far the two formulae are equivalent. The most important notes in col. 7 are those in italics, which indicate direct evidence afforded by the entry or first title-page as to companies by which the plays had been acted. I have added from other sources additional ascriptions which seem certain or reasonably probable, and sometimes omitted even title-page evidence where it obviously relates to production by a company of later origin than 1616. The notes in col. 8 must not be taken as attributions of authorship, but merely as guides to the relevant sections in ch. xxiii or to ch. xxiv. The brackets in this column indicate that the plays, being pre-Elizabethan, are dealt with in App. X of The Mediaeval Stage. Some statistics, based on this list, of the output of plays from the Elizabethan press, will be found in ch. xxii.]

APPENDIX M
LOST PLAYS

[Bibliographical Note.—As unknown prints have turned up in the sale of an Irish collection (1907) and the Mostyn sale (1919), and others may yet turn up from time to time, I give a list of plays as to the existence or preparation for publication of which there is some evidence. These are mainly taken either from the Stationers’ Register or from the publishers’ advertisement lists (Rogers and Ley’s in 1656, Archer’s in 1656, Kirkman’s in 1661 and 1671), analysed by W. W. Greg in an appendix to his Masques (1902). One is included in Sir John Harington’s catalogue of his library of plays apparently compiled in 1610 (cf. ch. xxii). Probably some of the registered titles, in which the description ‘play’ or ‘interlude’ is not used, do not relate to plays at all. I might have added a few more of this type from A. Esdaile, List of English Tales and Romances (1912, Bibl. Soc.), xxxiii. And it must be borne in mind that registration is not proof of publication. In particular, it is pretty clear that the two long series of entries by Humphrey Moseley on 9 Sept. 1653 and 29 June 1660, from which I have taken those conceivably relating to pre-1616 work, represent unaccomplished enterprises. They are fully discussed in W. W. Greg, The Bakings of Betsy (1911, 3 Library, ii. 225), together with John Warburton’s (ob. 1759) list in Lansd. MS. 807, f. 1, of plays which he claims to have possessed in MS., until ‘through my own carelesness and the ignorance of my ser[vant] in whose hands I had lodgd them they was unluckely burnd or put under Pye bottoms’. As this list is evidently in some way related to Moseley’s entries, I have, for the sake of completeness, cited a few titles which it adds.]
