Abstract

The text of The Concealed Fansyes , which has hitherto remained unprinted, is preserved in the Bodleian library in Rawlinson MS. Poet. 16, which bears the following title: “Poems, songs, and a pastorall, by the R t hon ble the Lady Jane Cavendish and Lady Elizabeth Brackley.” Though the play was listed by Halliwell-Phillipps, students of the drama have displayed very little curiosity in regard to it. Indeed, aside from a few communications which appeared many years ago in Notes and Queries , I have not found the slightest discussion of this play.
