Shakespeare and city comedy
[edit]There are a couple of things (at least) missing from the discussion of Shakespeare's relation to city comedy. At present, the article talks about The Merry Wives of Windsor, sourced with material I could access via google books. I know, however, that Measure for Measure belongs there, as does something on The Comedy of Errors, but I don't have access to material that will support it. There the possibility that the connections are due to a Middleton rewrite of Measure (Gary Taylor's proposal). There's the relationship to the city in Comedy, though, like Volpone, it's not London. If anyone has access to decent sources for it, please do add a sentence or two. • DP • {huh?} 01:11, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
