Published Articles

  1. Previously Unrecorded Verbal Parallels Between Histriomastix and The Acknowledged Works of John Marston (Notes and Queries, September 2004). In my first published paper, I discussed verbal parallels between Histriomastix and other works by  John Marston that support his authorship of Histriomastix. The paper is not relevant to Guy (as far as I know!), and is included here for completeness only.
  2. Links between Mucedorus and The Tragical History, Admirable Atchievments and Various Events of Guy Earl of Warwick (Notes and Queries, December 2006). This was my first published paper discussing Guy. I noted links between Guy and Mucedorus that support the contention that Sparrow is a satire on Shakespeare.
  3. Why A Dog? A Late Date For The Two Gentlemen Of Verona (Notes and Queries, September 2007). In this paper I put forward the radical hypothesis that Lance and his dog Crab in The Two Gentlemen Of Verona are a satire on Nashe and Jonson's involvement in the Isle of Dogs affair, with the corollary that the date of Two Gentlemen was much later than previously thought, probably in late 1597 or early 1598. Although the paper makes no mention of Guy, it is essential background reading for my follow-up paper, Ben Jonson's 'Villanous Guy'.
  4. Ben Jonson's 'Villanous Guy' (Notes and Queries, December 2009). In this follow-up paper to Why A Dog?, I argued that the clown Sparrow in Guy is Ben Jonson's satirical response to Shakespeare's original satire on Jonson in Two Gentlemen, and that Thomas Dekker alludes to this in Satiromastix.
