	Print and Censorship in Elizabethan Society
		How efficient the Stationers' Register was a means of press control is evidently debatable.
		Although the Stationers company were entrusted with powers to supervise, suppress and effectively police the country's printing, it is evident that their main interest in this was in the stamping out of competition and the protection of their privileges and monopolies rather than religious zeal.
		From the Charter of Incorporation, the Stationers' Company was given the right to search all printers and booksellers to check the legality of their publications, and to seize unofficial printed books.

		In England the King was concerned by the unfair copying of books and used the royal prerogative to pass the Licencing Act 1662 which established a register of licenced books and required a copy to be deposited with the Stationers Company.
		Though the industry has had some victories against services, including a highly publicized case against the file-sharing company Napster, the increasingly decentralized nature of these networks is making legal action more difficult.
		Trade secrets, where a company keeps information secret, perhaps by enforcing a contract under which those given access to information are not permitted to disclose it to others.

	Copyright Timeline
		The Licensing Act of 1662 confirmed that monopoly and established a register of licensed books to be administered by the Stationers' Company, a group of printers with the authority to censor publications.
		According to the final report, issued in 1998, "it was clear that fair use was alive and well in the digital age, and that attempts to draft widely supported guidelines will be complicated by the often competing interests of the copyright owner and user communities" (p.
		The court ruled that the profit motive of the company was a relevant consideration in the analysis of the purpose of the use.

	The Shakespeare Apocrypha
		Charles Hamilton claimed in 1994 that another play, The Second Maiden's Tragedy, was the lost Cardenio. This is thought by most to be by Thomas Middleton, and the fact that it is entered separately in Stationers' Register at the same time as Cardenio argues against the identification.
		More properly a lost play than an apocryphal one, Cardenio was entered in the Stationers' Register in 1653, as being by Shakespeare and Fletcher. Contemporary documents indicate that there was such a play, and it existed around the time when Shakespeare was writing, and indeed collaborating with Fletcher.
		More commonly called Woodstock, or Thomas of Woodstock, the primary title on the manuscript is The First Part of the Reign of Richard II; Thomas of Woodstock is then given as a secondary title. Known through an incomplete and anonymous manuscript in the British Museum.

	Robin Hood's Fishing: Introduction
		In its broadside versions the ballad is usually called The Noble Fisherman, with the subtitle Robin Hood's Preferment, which implies something like "professional advancement." It was entered in the Stationers' Register under the title Robin Hood's Great Prize, but this title was lost, perhaps confused with Robin Hood's Golden Prize, an archery contest ballad.
		This ballad is found in seventeenth-century broadsides and garlands and was entered in the Stationers' Register in 1631.
		In general Robin Hood's Fishing is a skilful reorientation of the outlaw tradition, certainly exploiting a range of national feeling against the French, but also more in tune with the spirit of the Robin Hood material than has been realized by those who have treated this ballad simply as an oddity.

	Print and Censorship in Elizabethan Society
		From the Charter of Incorporation, the Stationers' Company was given the right to search all printers and booksellers to check the legality of their publications, and to seize unofficial printed books.
		The stationers evidently accepted responsibility for licensing some genres of text, but turned to the bishops for authorization of religious, political or foreign texts.
		In the 1560s only 3% of the books in the register were licensed by the High Commission, but this rose to 7% in the 1570s and to 42% in the 1580s (Clegg, p.

	Gwynneth Bowen - The Mysterious Mr. W. H.
		W.H. was, himself, a Hackney man. After a fruitless search among the records in the public library, he turned to the parish register, and there found the entry of the marriage of a certain William Hall on 4th August 1608, just nine months before the Sonnets were entered in the Stationers' Register.
		The epistle is signed—"Your Worships unfained affectionate W.H.".
		W.H. is in fact an account of Ward's original research at Hackney, where he went, in the first place, in search of the Earl of Oxford, not Mr.

	Titus Andronicus - Shakespeare in quarto
		Titus Andronicus was entered on the Stationers’ Register on 6 February 1594 by the printer John Danter.
		Danter was raided by the Stationers’ Company and his presses destroyed in February or March 1597, for printing books without their authority.
		Titus Andronicus is the only one of Shakespeare’s plays for which there is a contemporary illustration, a drawing apparently made by Henry Peacham (the author of a drawing manual) now in the collection of the Marquess of Bath.

	Hamlet - Shakespeare in quarto
		The period of its creation is determined by its omission from the list of Shakespeare& plays given by Francis Meres in Palladis Tamia in 1598, and its entry on the Stationers’ Register in 1602.
		The date can be narrowed by the poet Gabriel Harvey’s note in his copy of the 1598 edition of the works of Chaucer (now in the British Library, Additional MS 42518).
		Hamlet has been dated to 1600, although Shakespeare apparently added some topical references to his play in 1601.

	SHAKESPEARE - LoveToKnow Article on SHAKESPEARE
		William Warners translation of the Menaech,ni was entered in the Stationers Register on June 10, 1594.
		William was in common use as a personal name, and Williams from more than one other family have from time to time been confounded with the dramatist.
		Among the many rapturous adherents of the theory was William Page, the American painter, who made many measurements of the mask and found that nearly half of them agreed with those of the Stratford bust; the greater number which do not he conveniently attributed to error in the sculptor.

	Introduction to Goose Game
		that it reached England by 1597, when John Wolfe entered "the newe and most pleasant game of the Goose" in the Stationers' Register on June 16
		Many of the designs are highly dramatic, delightfully entertaining and artistic, and they reflect the cultural trends of their time; but, in general, they have not much to do with the game: the illustrations show toys, sports, opera scenes, entertainers, cartoons and what-have-you.
		Such hedge designs were at the time popular among the European gentry, although instead of the Goose game's spiral most were laid out as living Labyrinths, like the famous maze at Hampton Court.

		Hoy says "it is to be assumed" Part Two was written shortly after Part One, noting an entry for the play "in the Stationers' Register on 29 April 1608" (2:68).
		Bethlem and Bridewell were not held in contempt by the London society in the way we hold them in contempt, but they were emblems -unusual and humble perhaps-of civic pride.
		In Bridewell, Hippolito and Matheo are shamed into reforming and Orlando makes public the private charity he has been offering all along to his daughter and son-in-law.

	Richard II Summary & Essays - William Shakespeare

	The Taming of the Shrew
		However, it may have been confused with The Taming of a Shrew, which was entered into the Stationers' Register on May 2, 1594.
		The idea of "taming" one's wife in Elizabethan England was a common one, and was coupled with a popular image of the shrewish wife in the male-dominated literary tradition.
		The text exists in a puzzling relationship with a near-contemporary version, The Taming of a [not 'the'] Shrew, which has an impact on the way The Taming of the Shrew is understood.

	Shakespeare
		This company had powerful friends at court, and in 1600 a special order was entered in the Stationers' Register to "stay" the publication of As You Like It, Much Ado About Nothing, and Henry V, possibly in order to assure that good texts were available.
		(For the Third Folio reissue of 1664, Pericles was added from a quarto text of 1609, together with six apocryphal plays.) The First Folio texts were prepared by John Heminge and Henry Condell (two of Shakespeare's fellow sharers in the Chamberlain's, now the King's, Men), who made every effort to present the volume worthily.
		Royal prerogative was challenged in Parliament; the economic and social orders were disturbed by the rise of capitalism, by the redistribution of monastic lands under Henry VIII, by the expansion of education, and by the influx of new wealth from discovery of new lands.
