Poems collected by the minor playwright, poet, and critic Lewis Theobald, who is otherwise best known for ‘Double Falsehood, or the Distrest Lovers’ (1728, see Bib# 4103197/Fr# 712 in this collection), a play he claimed to have ‘revised and adapted to the stage’ from a manuscript version ‘written originally by W. Shakespeare.’ In the preface to his own translation of ps-Musaeus, Hero and Leander, in urging the great antiquity of that poem, Theobald casually dismisses the opinions of Scaliger, Heinsius, Vossius (on Onomacritus) and Bentley (on Phalaris).
