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). Wiggins offers ""Contemporary" as a possible category of genre.

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.
