The chronology of Shakespeare's plays seems almost hopeless, scarcely any two writers agreeing as to the order of the plays or the years in which they were written. Several of the most critical authorities, however, --Dyce, White, Furnival, and Halliwell-Phillipps, --are agreed that two of the plays above named were written in 1593, three in 1602, and one in 1609. |
