Note 1288 — Chapter XV
Reading edition
Collier, iii. 207. Kyd is author of Jeronymo, and of the Spanish Tragedy, a continuation of the same story. Shakspeare has selected some of their absurdities for ridicule, and has left an abundant harvest for the reader. Parts of the Spanish Tragedy, Mr. C. thinks, are in the highest degree pathetic and interesting. This perhaps may be admitted, but Kyd is not, upon the whole, a pleasing dramatist.
