- Description
- Extracts information about Richard Edwards's now-lost play "Palamon and Arcite," from three extant contemporary accounts of the visit of Queen Elizabeth I to Oxford, where she attended a performance of the play in 1566. The accounts--by Miles Windsor, Nicholas Robinson, and John Bereblock--evince plot and details (with one quotation recorded), staging and performance (including accidental deaths), and some awareness of relations with KnT as source.
