Greetings! I recently had the opportunity to meet Prof. Alan Nelson who has
done quite a bit of work for REED. One of our conversations involved a
performance, or burlesque, given for Elizabeth I at Cambridge in 1564--a
performance to which the Queen evidently called a halt. If I'm recalling
correctly, Prof. Nelson indicated that there is an excerpt or fragment from
this burlesque published in the Cambridge, Records of Early English Drama, 2
vols. (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1989). Although I have access
to an excellent University library that has many of the volumes in the REED
series, they do not appear to have Cambridge. Would anyone on the list be
willing to expound on this document, or possibly scan the article and send
it to me as an attachment if it's too long for an email? I would be most
appreciative. I believe the excerpt is in Latin, but may stand corrected.
Thanks all for your attention.
