Non-Folio
Publications
Prior to the
publication of the first Beaumont and Fletcher
folio in 1647 nineteen of their plays had already appeared in various
quarto editions. As the first folio was
primarily concerned with the publication of new material these all of
these plays (with one exception) were excluded from its contents. The
one exception was Beaumont's The Masque
of the Inner Temple and Grey's Inns (published c. 1613) and it was
the only dramatic work included in the first folio that had seen prior
publication. The other eighteen excluded plays were included in the
second folio of 1679.
The plays are:
|
|
- Rollo, Duke of Normandy
- The Wild Goose Chase
- The Knight of the
Burning Pestle
- The Night Walker,
or the Little Thief
- The Coronation
- Cupid's Revenge
- Two
Noble Kinsmen
- Thierry and Theodoret
- The Woman Hater
|

In addition to the
above plays there remains one other play not included in either
the first or second folios but, which is now almost universally
recognized as a play that Fletcher
had a hand in:
The play was first
published in the 1623 Shakespeare folio but it is now considered
as the product of a collaboration between Shakespeare and Fletcher.
