Unpublished autograph play of 1590-1596 by the prolific Elizabethan dramatist, translator, versifier, and pamphleteer Anthony Munday edited by John Payne Collier, after Sir Frederic Madden pointed him to the manuscript which was residing among the papers belonging to Edward Mostyn. Collier added three hitherto-unreprinted texts to John a Kent and provided a new ‘Memoir’ and ‘List of Anthony Munday’s Works’ extending to forty-five pages, in addition to a general introduction and critical notes. Collier’s editorial work was showing some signs of carelessness. A. & J. Freeman, John Payne Collier. Scholarship and Forgery in the Nineteenth Century. New Haven, 2004, I, pp. 566-567; II, A82.
