Author Description

Excerpt from The True Chronicle History of King Leir, 1605 The play was, conjecturally, written late in 1588, or early in 1589, and was in all likelihood staged shortly afterwards. The play was published anonymously and has been variously attributed to Kyd, Lodge, Marlowe, Greene and Peele, to the last-named without much cause; the work is also regarded by many as too poor.
