Theatrical Provenance

As a play in the repertory of Leicester's men, Mamillia would have been performed at the company's urban and provincial venues (most likely) as well as at court.

Probable Genre(s)

Romance Harbage

Wiggins, Catalogue #550 offers ""Contemporary" as a possible category of genre.

Possible Narrative and Dramatic Sources or Analogues

See Critical Commentary, below.

References to the Play

None known.

Critical Commentary

F. G. Fleay, BCED has no opinion on the narrative source of this play (2.289, #31). Chambers, ES offers no opinions, but he does record its performance at court (2.88, 4.89, 147).

Wiggings, #550 does not address the narrative of this play except to dismiss a possible link to Robert Greene's Mamillia, which was printed in 1583 but written earlier.
