30-473: A Tudor Facsimile Text in 1912. Patient Grissell appears in Fredson Bowers' edition of Dekker's Dramatic Works. In May 1600 he brokered a play, now lost, to Henslowe called The English Fugitives , possibly based on Lewes Lewknor 's The Estate of English Fugitives published in 1595. Known plays by Haughton, either singly or in conjunction with others, include: Frederick Gard Fleay Fleay,

45-464: A more quantitative and fact-based approach. Fleay concentrated on rhymed versus unrhymed verse, and regular iambic pentameter lines versus lines with a "feminine ending," an extra unstressed final syllable. While not the first researcher to take a quantitative approach, Fleay produced a more organized result, with tables of metrical characteristics in the verse of Shakespeare and other English Renaissance dramatists.

60-598: Is different from Wikidata All article disambiguation pages All disambiguation pages William Haughton (playwright) William Haughton (died 1605) was an English playwright in the age of English Renaissance theatre . Most of what little biographical information there is about him is derived from the papers of Philip Henslowe , proprietor of the Rose Theatre . Henslowe's earliest reference to him refers to him as "young" Haughton. He wrote all his known dramatic work for Henslowe, for production by

75-560: Is sent from the infernal regions to report on the conditions of married life on earth. This attribution has recently been confirmed by William M Baillie (see below). Grim is reprinted in vol. viii, and Englishmen for My Money iii, vol. 5, of WC Hazlitt 's edition of Dodsley 's Old Plays . Englishmen for My Money was edited in old-spelling by A. C. Baugh in 1917, and appeared as a Tudor Facsimile Text in 1911. Grim has been edited by William L. Baillie as part of A Choice Ternary of English Plays: Gratiae Theatrales (1984), and appeared as

90-508: The Admiral's Men and Worcester's Men . (Henslowe's papers refer to Haughton as Hawton, Hauton, Haughtoun, Haulton, Howghton, Horton, Harton, and Harvghton —a fine example of the famously flexible Elizabethan orthography. His name is spelled Houghton in his 1605 will.) On 10 March 1600 Henslowe lent Haughton ten shillings "to release him out of The Clink ". A William Haughton received an M.A. from Oxford in 1604, but Baugh doubts that this

105-699: The deficiencies of his work were noted by contemporary critics as well as by subsequent generations of scholars. His efforts to quantify his research could not fully counter his tendency to be subjective and impressionistic, and at worst rather eccentric. His judgments and methods have not stood the test of time. (Fleay was a "disintegrator"—he tended to attribute what he didn't like in Shakespeare's canon to other playwrights. He assigned Titus Andronicus to Christopher Marlowe ; Richard III and Romeo and Juliet were, he thought, originally composed by George Peele and later revised by Shakespeare.) Perhaps due to

120-661: The enormous effort involved in creating his tables of verse-test data, Fleay had a tendency to make mistakes and get things wrong. The work of Fleay and other members of the New Shakspere Society was ridiculed by Algernon Charles Swinburne in 1880: "...the double-ending test, the triple-ending test, the heavy-monosyllabic-eleventh-syllable-of-the-double-ending test...." In his later years, Fleay largely abandoned studies in English literature and devoted himself to Egyptology and Assyriology . His work in those fields

A merry comedy entitled Englishmen for My Money , or A Woman will have her Will (1598) is ascribed to his sole authorship, and Fleay credits him with a considerable share in Patient Grissel (1599). The latter attribution has been confirmed and refined by W. L. Halstead and by Cyrus Hoy (1980), giving

At the Society's inaugural meeting on Friday 13 March 1874, Edwin Abbott Abbott read Part 1 of Fleay's seminal paper On Metrical Tests as Applied to Dramatic Poetry. Fleay's essay was a crucial early attempt to move away from impressionistic and qualitative approaches to the study of English Renaissance texts, and toward

210-478: Was peculiarly suited to the scientific and positivistic tenor of the times...." Fleay wrote voluminously throughout his long career; at his best, he marshalled extensive fields of data and made the information available to readers. His Chronicle History of the London Stage (1890) is organized on the model of Jaques' "Seven Ages of Man" speech from As You Like It , II, vii, dividing its subject into: Yet
