Edition. Only in the folio, 1623.
Date. We have no means of ascertaining the exact date; but the language and the use of rimes in the dialogue induce me to think that it was near that of Troilus and Cressida.
Origin. The story of Timon in Painter's Palace of Pleasure, and life of Antony in North's Plutarch.
Coriolanus.
Edition. Only in the folio, 1623.
Date. A little later, I think, than the two preceding plays; for there is only one riming passage in it.
Origin. Life of Coriolanus in North's Plutarch.
Cymbeline.
Edition. Only in the folio, 1623.
Date. From the style and the family resemblance—as appears to me—between Imogen, Miranda, and Perdita, I should deem it to be contemporaneous with the Tempest and the Winter's Tale. We may place it, then, in or after 1610.
