| Title | Willobie his Avisa : with an essay towards its interpretation / by Charles Hughes. |
| Level | Item |
| Date | 1904 |
| Description | General Note: Ostensibly edited by Hadrian Dorrell from the papers left by his friend Henry Willoughby; thought to be the work of Dorrell himself, though the name is probably fictitious. Has been ascribed to the Earl of Southampton and others. |
| General Note: "The cumulative evidence makes it almost certain that the W.S. of the poem stands for William Shakespeare." cf. p. xxvii. |
| General Note: The text of the Avisa has been prepared by collating Dr. Grosart's edition (1880) with the 1594 edition in the Britih museum. Appendies A and B are "from 1596 edition of 'Avisa' as reprinted in 1635 edition". Appendix C is "printed from the unique copy in the possession of A.H. Huth esq." |
