[147] _La Ciguë_; _L'Aventurière_; _Gabrielle_; _Le Fils de Giboyer_,
&c.
[148] _Valérie_; _Bertrand et Raton_; _Le Verre d'eau_, &c.
[149] _Louis XI._
[150] _Adrienne Lecouvreur_.
[151] _La Dame aux camélias_; _Le Demi-monde_; _Le Supplice d'une
femme_; _Les Idées de Mme Aubray_; _L'Étrangère_; _Francillon_.
[152] _Les Pattes de mouche_; _Nos bons villageois_; _Patrie_.
[153] _Le Monde où l'on s'ennuie_.
[154] _Frou-frou_.
[155] As has been already seen, Sir David Lyndsay's celebrated
_Satyre of the Three Estaits_, a dramatic manifesto in favour of the
Reformation, is in form a morality pure and simple.
[156] _Tom Tiler and his Wife_ (1578); _A Knack to know a Knave_ (c.
1594); _Sir Clyomon and Sir Clamydes_ (misattributed to G. Peele),
(printed 1599).
[157] An earlier drama by him, _Christus redivivus_, is said to have
been printed at Cologne.
[158] _Oedipus_; _Dido_; _Ulysses redux_.
[159] By A. Guarna.
[160] _Pax_; _Troas_; _Menaechmi_; _Oedipus_; _Mostellaria_;
_Hecuba_; _Amphytruo_; _Medea_. These fall between 1546 and 1560. The
date and place of the production of William Goldingham of Trinity
Hall's _Herodes_, some time after 1567, are unknown.
[161] The date and place of performance of the Latin _Fatum
Vortigerni_ are unknown; but it was not improbably produced at a
later time than Shakespeare's _Richard II._, which it seems in
certain points to resemble.
[162] Latin "academical" plays directly imitated from Seneca, but of
unknown date, are _Solymannidae_ (or the story of Solyman II. and his
son Mustapha), and _Tomumbeius_ (Tuman Bey, sultan of Egypt, 1516);
yet others exhibit his influence.
[163] _"Supposes" and "Jocasta,"_ ed. J. W. Cunliffe.
[164] His _Palamon and Arcyte_ (produced in Christ Church hall,
Oxford, in 1566) is not preserved; or we should be able to compare
with _The Two Noble Kinsmen_ this early dramatic treatment of a
singularly fine theme.
[165] _The History of the Collier._
[166] _A Historie of Error_ (1577), one of the many imitations of the
_Menaechmi_, may have been the foundation of the _Comedy of Errors_.
In the previous year was printed the old _Taming of a Shrew_, founded
on a novel of G. F. Straparola. Part of the plot of Shakespeare's
_Taming of the Shrew_ may have been suggested by _The Supposes_.
[167] _Treatise wherein Dicing, Dauncing, Vaine Playes or Enterluds
... are reproved_, &c. (1577).
[168] _The School of Abuse._
[169] _The Anatomy of Abuses._
[170] H. Denham, G. Whetstone (the author of _Promos and Cassandra_),
W. Rankine.
