- Title
Sir Robert Howard, John Dryden, and the Attribution of The Indian-Queen.
- Authors
SPIELMAN, DAVID WALLACE
- Abstract
The article discusses the play "The Indian-Queen," focusing on whether Sir Robert Howard or John Dryden should be attributed with authorship. The play is historically significant for being the first rhymed heroic tragedy ever performed in London, England. The author notes that neither Dryden nor Howard were publicly associated with the play during its initial performance run. Arguments are presented which support either Howard or Dryden as the primary author of the work. The author mentions the likelihood that both wrote the play together.
