Comment: RE: SHK 16.1674 Source Query
Thanks for the responses, but perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I rather
hoped that the fact I was asking if anyone knew of plays (based on
ballads, not chronicles) dealing with English history/Englishness would
circumvent the need to gloss the fact that, yes, I had heard of
Shakespeare's history cycle, but as it based mainly on Holinshed and
Hall, Bullough is of little use. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, and I
thank (almost) everyone for their measured and kind responses, but R.A.
Cantrell's rather dismissive and sniping:
Geoffrey Bullough: Sources of Shakespeare: Google?
Rather got my hackles up.
Respectfully,
Will Sharpe

Comment: RE: SHK 16.1674 Source Query
Although, having said that, Bullough does of course point to Mirrour for
Magistrates (are these ballads or verse histories) so in that respect,
fair enough. I am however still more interested in the sources of
non-Shakespeare plays on this matter, so if anyone knows anything, I'd
still love to hear any suggestions.
Best,
Will Sharpe

Except that that was only Vol.1 and Vol.2 was never published.
Muir revised, re-cast, completed, and re-issued it as:
The Sources of Shakespeare's Plays. London, Methuen, 1977.
I find it invaluable - quite apart from anything, it tells you which
volume of Bullough to go to!
