He is mentioned in Webbe's Discourse of English Poetry, 1586; and Puttenham in his Art of English Poesy, 1589, tells us that the Earl of Oxford (of whose dramatic productions there is no other trace) and Edwards deserve the highest prize for comedy and interlude.' Meres, in his Palladis Tamia, 1598, repeats the applause given by Puttenham, with the omission of the word 'interlude, ' then out of fashion, terming Edwards one of the best for comedy.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the English Stage or Their Majesties Servants, Vol. 1 IT is unnecessary to apologise for a new edition of Dr. Doran's Annals of the Stage. The two editions already published have been for many years out of print, and the first is so rare that copies of it bring a high price whenever they occur for sale. And this demand is not a mere bibliographical accident, for the book has held for many years a recognised posi tion as the standard popular history of the English stage. The admirable work of Genest, indispensable as it is to every writer on theatrical history, and to every serious student of the stage, is in no sense a popular work, and is, indeed, rather a collection of facts towards a history than a history itself.
