A glossary which evaluates a set of verbal evidence proposed in support of Thomas Nashe’s co-authorship of the late sixteenth-century play, Dido, Queen of Carthage

The authorship of Dido, Queen of Carthage has been contested since the 1594 title page nominated both Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Nashe. The Glossary reviews the suggestions made by H.J.Oliver in the Revels Plays edition of 1968, since accepted as proving co-authorship in British Drama 1533-1642: A Catalogue. This Glossary offers evidence for the opposing case, that Marlowe was the sole author of the play. It was developed in conjunction with the new Revels Plays edition of Dido. Two related publications for which the Glossary will function as reference material. Final details are not yet available: A scholarly edition of Dido, Queen of Carthage, edited by Ruth Lunney, Revels Plays Series, Manchester University Press; An essay: “Who Wrote Dido, Queen of Carthage?”, by Ruth Lunney and Hugh Craig.
