Book excerpt: Excerpt from Baconiana, 1905, Vol. 3: A Quarterly Magazine The difiiculties connected with Marlowe's author ship are by no means confined to title pages. Mr. Ingram must know, for instance, that Faustus, as we have it, cannot have been written by Marlowe. Let me succinctly state the reasons for this opinion. Marlowe died in 1593. Faustus was entered at Stationers' Hall in 1601, and published in 1604. A new edition, slightly altered (let that pass), was published in 1609. But in 1616 another edition appeared, and this was enlarged to half as much again; many of the scenes were re-cast or te written; new characters were introduced, and new inci dents. Mr. William Theobald has analyzed these changes, as Mr. Ingram ought to have done, as anyone may do. He finds twenty-eight characters in the 1604 edition, besides Devils, Spirits, Friars, Attendants and Chorus. The 1616 edition has thirty-seven characters besides Cardinals, Monks, Friars, Soldiers, Servants and Chorus. The Cardinal Lorraine of 1604 is left out in 1616. Robin, the hostler, becomes a Clown, and the Knight becomes Benvolio. New characters in 1616 are Raymond King of Hungary, the Duke of Saxony, Bruno, a Carter, Hostess, and three Soldiers. The play is enlarged from eighteen and a-half to twenty-six pages of modern printing. Will it be believed that Mr. Ingram takes not the smallest notice of all these hard facts -unless, indeed, he alludes to them as degrading interpella tions, or corruptions, which they are not, and it is idle to attempt to dispose of them in this summary manner. The new matter is of the same quality as the old, and. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
