Description
Excerpt from Endymion, the Man in the Moon: Played Before the Queen''s Majesty at Greenwich on Candlemas Day, at Night, by the Children of Paul''s
Nash controversy, and on the dates for the undated begging letters of Lyly to the Queen. He hopes, also, that it will lead to a wider acceptance of the idea originally advanced by the Rev. Mr. Halpin, that Endymion is an allegory treating an episode in the relations of Leicester and Elizabeth, and to a better under standing of the history of the children''s com panics between 1580 and 1600. In the intro duction the aim has been to advance no theories to which evidence does not point the way; to distinguish carefully what is possible from what is probable, and both from what is evidently indisputable. The editor will be very grateful to any one who will call his attention to errors or oversights.
He wishes to thank Professor G. L. Kittredge of Harvard University, for reading the proof of the text and for many helpful suggestions. He is also indebted to Professors Goodwin, Ashley, and Gross of Harvard, Professor Carpenter of Columbia, Mr. Sidney Lee, the Rev. W. Spar row Simpson, D.D., Librarian of St. Paul''s Cathedral, Mrs. M. G. Gibbs of Aylesbury, England, and Messrs. T. Hall and F. G. Taussig for aid in details of the text or introduction.
