Critical Commentary


Greg II offers the story of Atalanta as a possible subject; he questions whether the play was finished (#192, p.209).


Knutson (p. 162) and Gurr (p. 105) concur that nothing about the 15s. payment to Chettle and Haughton suggests that the play was completed and staged.

Wiggins, Catalogue (#1228) is skeptical that Atalanta was the Arcadian Virgin because "a known character" would probably be named in the title. He projects a performance at the Rose, implicitly rejecting Greg's thought that the play might not have been finished.
