 APPENDIX K

ACADEMIC PLAYS

[The academic drama only lies on the fringe of my subject, but I have included notes on extant English plays in chapters xxiii and xxiv, and give below, for the sake of convenience, a list of these, and another of those Latin plays which there is any positive evidence for assigning to the period 1558-1616 and to English authorship. Fuller treatment will be found in G. B. Churchill and W. Keller, ''Die lateinischen Universitäts-Dramen in der Zeit der Königin Elisabeth (1898, Jahrbuch'', xxxiv. 220); G. C. Moore Smith, Notes on Some English University Plays (1908, M. L. R. iii. 141), and Plays performed in Cambridge Colleges before 1583 (1909, Fasciculus J. W. Clark dicatus, 265); L. B. Morgan, The Latin University Drama (1911, Jahrbuch, xlvii. 69); and F. S. Boas, University Plays (1910, C. H. vi. 293, with full bibliography), and University Drama in the Tudor Age (1914). Further material from Cambridge archives is in preparation by G. C. Moore Smith. In addition to the plays given in this list, some are incorporated in the description of The Christmas Prince (cf. ch. xxiv, s.a. 1607-8.]
