Theatrical Provenance

The history of dating "Hardicanute" is influenced by its appearance without the sign of "ne" in Henslowe's playlists in October 1597 (its only appearance in theatrical records). Harbage consequently grouped it with plays as old as those offered by Strange's men at the Rose in 1592 (see his "1590, addenda").

Pembroke's, Greg II, p. 186, #113 ("No doubt an old play of Pembroke's men")
