Bemerkung:

"The Fortune Play Books".- "Robert was the most popular writer of the group known in histories of literature as The University Wits ... He was a Norwich man, of lower middle-class family, who went up to St. John's College, Cambridge, as a poor scholar in 1575 ... It is only fair to add that the original text is exceedingly corrupt, and Greene is not to be blamed for all the mutilated lines or obscure phrases. The earliest quarto dates from 1594, and was probably set up from a stage version used by a travelling company..." (Introduction).
