First Fruits
Florio's biographer Clara Longworth de Chambrun made an extensive analysis of Florio's dramatic dialogues of "First Fruits," "Second Fruits" and passages from Montaigne's "Essays", doing a comparison with Shakespeare's dialogues and pointing out some similarities between the two writers. Further textual and linguistic analysis was performed by Rinaldo C. Simonini, who compared Florio's dramatic dialogues of "First Fruits" and "Second Fruits" with Shakespeare's plays.
