curious discovery is discussed by
Prof F. S. Boas in the 'Fortnightly
Review" It IS a play founded on the
career Of Richard Il, containing strong
element Of popular humor, aad antedat-
ing the Shakespearean pIGy BY some
years. Prof Boas thinks that this
accounts for the absence Il humor in
the latter, since Shakespeare might have
hesitated TO cover the ground already
covered by his predecessor. Episodes to
which Shakespeare merely aIludes are
fully dealt with IN the older play.
Prof Boas says: In breadth of can
vas. insight into popular feeling, and
abundant comic relief, the anonymous
work supplies the very elements that are
most to seek in Shakespeara's drama.
It seems strange that any ? jssible play
wright should have crowdz-e the king Of
dramatists of any conceivable field. but
this IS certainly reasonable theory on
this particular subject. It gives one Of
those glimpses Of the England of
shakespeare's time which are fascinat-
ing because they afford at least a hint
Of his ways Of work.
