CHECK LIST OF PLAYS
The First Folio ( 1647) of Beaumont and Fletcher includes thirty-three plays
and, in addition, Four Plays in One and Beaumont Masque which are not dealt
with in this study. Of these plays, all previously unpublished, at least twenty-
eight belonged to the King's Company. Six years before they had refused to
permit publication of their Beaumont and Fletcher manuscripts, but times
were unusually hard for actors in 1647. This group of plays, collected by James
Shirley, does not, however, fairly represent Beaumont and Fletcher. The
Second Folio ( 1679) is far more complete. It contains fifty plays, and also Four
Plays in One, Beaumont Masque and Shirley The Coronation. I have included
in the list three plays not found in the Second Folio -- Henry VIII, Sir John Van
Olden Barnavelt, and A Very Woman -- since Fletcher is generally believed to
have had some share in them.
This list, drawn largely from Alfred Harbage invaluable Annals of English
Drama, makes no pretence to be bibliographically exhaustive or original. I have
arranged the plays in alphabetical order, followed by accepted or approximate
date(s) of composition in parentheses, date of first publication, and presumed
or known authorship. The letters B, F, and M designate Beaumont, Fletcher,
and Massinger.
