Note 1064 — XI THE ACTOR'S ECONOMICS
Reading edition
Small, 67, has an excellent analysis of Histriomastix. He dates it in 1596, but not convincingly. It might just as well be 1588-90. The text is in R. Simpson, The School of Shakespeare, ii. 1, and needs re-editing. Moreover, Simpson thought that Posthaste was Shakespeare. The actor-scenes are i. 112-62; ii. 70-147, 188-344; iii. 179-243, 265-78; iv. 159-201; v. 61-102, 238-43; vi. 187-240. Of these I think that ii. 247-80; iii. 179-217, 265-78 may belong to the Marstonian revision.
