title: The Works
variant_description: There are two issue of this collection. In STC 17471, the title page names Marston as author and does not list the plays in the collection, and the issue contains a dedication [A3r]. In STC 17472, all references to Marston were removed: the original quire A<sup>4</sup> was replaced by a cancel title leaf removing the dedication; the cancel title page lists a different book title and includes the plays in the collection, with no author attribution and with a different imprint. Each of the plays in STC 17472 also contains a cancel title page without Marston's name. See also STC
