| Evidence: | Leonard Woolf to Lytton Strachey, 4 January 1902:
'Beppo is an innovation is he not? [...] if there are five acts of 500 lines each, it will not be the longest play on record as [Thomas Kyd's] The Spanish Tragedy which I have just read has -- counting the additions of Ben Jonson I believe -- about 2970 lines.' |
