WOLF'S THEATRE IN NIGHTINGALE LANE, NEAR EAST SMITHFIELD
In Jeaffreson's _Middlesex County Records_ (I, 260), we find the
following entry, dated April 1, 1600:
1 April, 42 Elizabeth.--Recognizance, taken before Sir John
Peyton knt., Lieutenant of the Tower of London, and Thomas
Fowler, Tobias Woode, Edward Vaghan and Henry Thoresby
esqs., Justices of the Peace, of John Wolf, of
Eastsmithfield, co. Midd., stationer, in the sum of forty
pounds; The condition of the recognizance being "that,
whereas the above-bounden John Wolf hath begun to erect and
build a playhouse in Nightingale Lane near East Smithfield
aforesaid, contrary to Her Majesty's proclamation and orders
set down in Her Highness's Court of Starchamber. If
therefore the said John Wolf do not proceed any further in
building or erecting of the same playhouse, unless he shall
procure sufficient warrant from the Rt. Honourable the Lords
of Her Majesty's most honourable Privy Council for further
... then this recognizance to be void, or else to remain in
full force."
The only stationer in London named John Wolf was the printer and
publisher who at this time had his shop in Pope's Head Alley, Lombard
Street. For several reasons he is well known to bibliographers; and
his strong personality and tireless energy might easily have led him
into the field of the theatre. For many years he was a member of the
Fishmongers' Company, to which also, in all probability, his father
had belonged. After a ten years' apprenticeship with the eminent
printer, John Day, he spent several years abroad "gadding from country
to country," but learning the printing trade from the best
establishments on the Continent. His longest stay was in Italy, where
he was connected with the printing-office of the Giunti, and also, it
seems, of Gabriel Giolito. In 1576 he printed two _Rappresentazioni_,
"ad instanzia di Giovanni Vuolfio, Inglese." About the year 1579 he
established himself in London (where he was dubbed by his fellows
"Machiavel"), and began an energetic warfare on the monopolies secured
by certain favored printers. The fact that he was for a time
"committed to the Clink" failed to deter him. We are told that he
"affirmed openly in the Stationers' Hall that it was lawful for all
men to print all lawful books, what commandment soever Her Majesty
gave to the contrary." And being "admonished that he, being but one,
so mean a man, should not presume to contrary Her Highness'
government: 'Tush,' said he, 'Luther was but one man, and reformed all
the world for religion, and I am _that one man_ that must and will
reform the government in this trade.'" The courage and energy here
revealed characterized his entire life. In 1583 he was admitted a
freeman of the Company of Stationers. In 1593 he was elected Printer
to the City. In the spring of 1600 he was in serious difficulties with
the authorities over the printing of John Hayward's _Life and Raigne
of King Henrie IV_, and was forced to spend two weeks in jail. He died
in 1601.[686]
[Footnote 686: For the life of John Wolf see the following: Edward
Arber, _A Transcript of the Stationers' Registers_, especially II,
779-93; _The Calendar of State Papers, Domestic, 1598-1601_, pp. 405,
449, 450; A. Gerber, _All of the Five Fictitious Italian Editions_,
etc. (in _Modern Language Notes_, XXII (1907), 2, 129, 201); H.R.
Plomer, _An Examination of Some Existing Copies of Hayward's "Life and
Raigne of King Henrie IV_" (in _The Library_, N.S., III (1902), 13);

1557-1640_; S. Bongi, _Annali di Gabriel Giolito de' Ferrari_.]
If this "John Wolf, stationer," be the man who started to erect a
playhouse in East Smithfield, it is to be regretted that we do not
know more about the causes which led him into the undertaking.
II
THE PROJECTED "AMPHITHEATRE"
In 1620 John Cotton, John Williams, and Thomas Dixon[687] secured from
King James a license to build an amphitheatre[688] "intended
principally for martiall exercises, and extraordinary shows and
solemnities for ambassadors, and persons of honor and quality," with
the power granted to the owners to order "a cessation from other shows
and sports, for one day in a month only, upon fourteen days' warning."
[Footnote 687: Of these men nothing is known; something, however, may
be inferred from the following entries in Sir Henry Herbert's
Office-Book: "On the 20th August, 1623, a license _gratis_, to John
Williams and four others, to make _show_ of _an Elephant_, for a year;
on the 5th of September to make show of a _live Beaver_; on the 9th of
June, 1638, to make show of an outlandish creature, called a
_Possum_." (George Chalmers, _Supplemental Apology_, p. 208.)]
[Footnote 688: The place is not indicated, but it was probably outside
the city.]
But for some reason the King suddenly changed his mind, and on
September 29, 1620, he addressed a letter to the Privy Council
directing them to cancel the license:[689]
Right trusty and right well-beloved Cousins and Councellors,
and right trusty and well-beloved Councellors, we greet you
well. Whereas at the humble suit of our servants John
Cotton, John Williams, and Thomas Dixon, and in recompence
of their services, we have been pleased to license them to
build an Amphitheatre, which hath passed our Signet and is
stayed at our Privy Seal; and finding therein contained some
such words and clauses, as may, in some constructions, seem
to give them greater liberty both in point of building and
using of exercises than is any way to be permitted, or was
ever by us intended, we have thought fit to command and give
authority unto you, or any four of you, to cause that
already passed to be cancelled, and to give order unto our
Solicitor General for the drawing up of a new warrant for
our signature to the same parties, according to such
directions and reservations as herewith we send you. Wherein
we are more particular, both in the affirmative and the
negative, to the end that, as on one side we would have
nothing pass us to remain upon record which either for the
form might not become us or for the substance might cross
our many proclamations (pursued with good success) for
buildings, or, on the other side, might give them cause to
importune us after they had been at charges; to which end we
wish that you call them before you and let them know our
pleasure and resolution therein.
[Footnote 689: See _State Papers, Domestic, 1619-1623_, p. 181. I have
quoted the letter from Collier, _The History of English Dramatic
Poetry_ (1879), I, 408.]
Accordingly the license was canceled, and no new license was issued.
In 1626, however, John Williams and Thomas Dixon (what had become of
John Cotton we do not know) made an attempt to secure a license from
King Charles, then newly come to the throne, to erect an amphitheatre
in Lincoln's Inn Fields. Apparently they so worded the proposed grant
as to authorize them to present in their amphitheatre not only
spectacles, but dramatic performances and animal-baitings as well,
with the power to restrain all other places of amusement for one day
in each week, on giving two days' warning.
A "bill" to this effect was drawn up and submitted to Thomas Coventry,
the Lord Keeper, who examined it hastily, and dispatched it to Lord
Conway with the following letter:[690]
_My very good Lord_,--I have perused this Bill, and do call
to mind that about three or four years past when I was
Attorney General, a patent for an Amphitheatre was in hand
to have passed; but upon this sudden, without search of my
papers, I cannot give your lordship any account of the true
cause wherefore it did not pass, nor whether that and this
do vary in substance: neither am I apt upon a sudden to take
impertinent exceptions to anything that is to pass, much
less to a thing that is recommended by so good a friend. But
if upon perusal of my papers which I had while I was
Attorney, or upon more serious thoughts, I shall observe
anything worthy to be represented to His Majesty, or to the
Council, I shall then acquaint your lordship; and in the
meantime I would be loath to be the author of a motion to
His Majesty to stay it: but if you find His Majesty at
fitting leisure, to move him that he will give leave to
think of it in this sort as I have written, it may do well;
and I assure your lordship, unless I find matter of more
consequence than I observe on this sudden, it is not like to
be stayed. And so I rest your lordship's very assured to do
you service,
THO. COVENTRYE, CH.
CANBURY, 12 _August_, 1626.
[Footnote 690: Collier, _op. cit._, I, 443.]
Apparently some very influential person was urging the passage of the
bill. But the scheme soon evoked the bitter opposition of the various
troupes of players, and of the owners of the various theatres and
other places of amusement. An echo of the quarrel is found in
Marmion's _Holland's Leaguer_, II, iii:
Twill dead all my device in making matches,
My plots of architecture, and erecting
New amphitheatres to draw custom
From playhouses once a week, and so pull
A curse upon my head from the poor scoundrels.[691]
[Footnote 691: _The Dramatic Works of Shackerley Marmion_, in
_Dramatists of the Restoration_, p. 37. Fleay (_A Biographical
Chronicle of the English Drama_, II, 66) suggests that the impostors
Agurtes and Autolichus are meant to satirize Williams and Dixon
respectively.]
The "poor scoundrels"--i.e., the players--seem to have caused the
authorities to examine the bill more closely; and on September 28,
1626, the Lord Keeper sent to Lord Conway a second letter in which he
condemned the measure in strong terms:[692]
_My Lord_,--According to His Majesty's good pleasure, which
I received from your lordship, I have considered of the
grant desired by John Williams and Thomas Dixon for building
an Amphitheatre in Lincoln's Inn Fields; and comparing it
with that which was propounded in King James his time, do
find much difference between them: for that former was
intended principally for martiall exercises, and
extraordinary shows, and solemnities for ambassadors and
persons of honor and quality, with a cessation from other
shows and sports for one day in a month only, upon 14 days'
warning: whereas by this new grant I see little probability
of anything to be used but common plays, or ordinary sports
now used or showed at the Bear Garden or the common
playhouses about London, for all sorts of beholders, with a
restraint to all other plays and shows for one day in the
week upon two days' warning: with liberty to erect their
buildings in Lincoln's Inn Fields, where there are too many
buildings already; and which place in the late King's time
upon a petition exhibited by the Prince's comedians for
setting up a playhouse there, was certified by eleven
Justices of Peace under their hands to be very inconvenient.
And therefore, not holding this new grant fit to pass, as
being no other in effect but to translate the playhouses and
Bear Garden from the Bankside to a place much more unfit, I
thought fit to give your lordship these reasons for it;
wherewithal you may please to acquaint His Majesty, if there
shall be cause. And so remain your lordship's very assured
friend to do you service,
THO. COVENTRYE.
CANBURY, 28 _Sept._, 1626.
LO. CONWAY.
[Footnote 692: I quote the letter from Collier, _The History of
English Dramatic Poetry_ (1879), I, 444.]
On the letter Lord Conway has written the indorsement: "That it is
unfit the grant for the Amphitheatre should passe." And such, no
doubt, was the ultimate decision of the Privy Council, for we hear
nothing more of the project.
III
OGILBY'S DUBLIN THEATRE
In 1635 a playhouse was opened in Dublin by John
Ogilby,--dancing-master, theatrical manager, playwright, scholar,
translator, poet,--now best known, perhaps, for the ridicule he
inspired in Dryden's _MacFlecknoe_ and Pope's _Dunciad_. At the
beginning of his versatile career he was a successful London
dancing-master, popular with "the nobility and gentry." When Thomas
Earl of Strafford was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, he took
Ogilby with him to Dublin, to teach his wife and children the art of
dancing, and also to help with the secretarial duties. Under
Strafford's patronage, Ogilby was appointed to the post of Master of
the Revels for Ireland; and in this capacity he built a small
playhouse in Dublin and began to cultivate dramatic representations
after the manner of London. Anthony a Wood in _Athenae Oxonienses_,
says:
He built a little theatre to act plays in, in St. Warburg's
street in Dublin, and was then and there valued by all
ingenious men for his great industry in promoting morality
and ingenuity.[693]
[Footnote 693: Bliss's edition, III, 741.]
Aubrey writes:
He had a warrant from the Lord Lieutenant to be Master of
the Ceremonies for that kingdom; and built a pretty[694]
little theatre in St. Warburgh Street in Dublin.
[Footnote 694: "Pretty little theatre" is the reading of _MS. Aubr.
7_, folio 20; _MS. Aubr. 8_ omits the adjective "pretty." For Aubrey's
full account of Ogilby see Andrew Clark's _Brief Lives_ (1898), 2
vols.]
The history of this "little theatre" is not known in detail. For its
actors Ogilby himself wrote at least one play, entitled _The Merchant
of Dublin_,[695] and Henry Burnell a tragi-comedy entitled
_Landgartha_, printed in 1641 "as it was presented in the new theatre
in Dublin with good applause." But its chief playwright was James
Shirley, who came to Dublin in 1636 under the patronage of the Earl of
Kildare. For the Irish stage he wrote _The Royal Master_, published in
1638 as "acted in the new theatre in Dublin"; _Rosania, or Love's
Victory_, now known as _The Doubtful Heir_, under which title it was
later printed; _St. Patrick for Ireland_;[696] and in all probability
_The Constant Maid_.[697] The actors, however, had little need to buy
original plays, for they were free, no doubt, to take any of the
numerous London successes. From Shirley's _Poems_ we learn that they
were presenting Jonson's _Alchemist_, Middleton's _No Wit_, two of
Fletcher's plays, unnamed, and two anonymous plays entitled _The Toy_
and _The General_; and we may fairly assume that they honored several
of Shirley's early plays in the same way.
[Footnote 695: Aubrey mentions this as having been "written in Dublin,
and never printed."]
[Footnote 696: Published in 1640 as "the first part," and both the
Prologue and the Epilogue speak of a second part; but no second part
was printed, and in all probability it never was written.]
[Footnote 697: Never licensed for England; reprinted in 1657 with _St.
Patrick for Ireland_.]
The theatre came to a sudden end with the outbreak of the rebellion in
1641. In October the Lords Justices prohibited playing there; and
shortly after, we are told, the building was "ruined and spoiled, and
a cow-house made of the stage."[698]
[Footnote 698: _MS. Aubr. 7_, folio 20 v. Ogilby's second theatre in
Dublin, built after the Restoration, does not fall within the scope of
the present work.]
IV
THE FRENCH PLAYERS' TEMPORARY THEATRE IN DRURY LANE
In February, 1635, a company of French players, under the leadership
of the eminent actor, Josias de Soulas, better known by his stage-name
of Floridor,[699] appeared in London, and won such favor at Court that
they were ultimately allowed to fit up a house in Drury Lane for a
temporary theatre. The history of these players is mainly found in the
records of the Master of the Revels and of the Lord Chamberlain. From
the former, Malone has preserved the following entries by Herbert:
On Tuesday night the 17 of February, 1634 [i.e., 1635], a
French company of players, being approved of by the Queen at
her house two nights before, and commended by Her Majesty to
the King, were admitted to the Cockpitt in Whitehall, and
there presented the King and Queen with a French comedy
called _Melise_,[700] with good approbation: for which play
the King gave them ten pounds.
This day being Friday, and the 20 of the same month, the
King told me his pleasure, and commanded me to give order
that this French company should play the two sermon days in
the week during their time of playing in Lent [i.e.,
Wednesdays and Fridays, on which days during Lent the
English companies were not allowed to play], and in the
house of Drury Lane [i.e., the Cockpit Playhouse], where the
Queen's Players usually play. The King's pleasure I
signified to Mr. Beeston [the manager of the Cockpit] the
same day, who obeyed readily. The housekeepers are to give
them by promise the benefit of their interest[701] for the
two days of the first week. They had the benefit of playing
on the sermon days, and got two hundred pounds at least;
besides many rich clothes were given them. They had freely
to themselves the whole week before the week before
Easter,[702] which I obtained of the King for them.
[Footnote 699: See Frederick Hawkins, _Annals of the French Stage_
(1884), I, 148 ff., for the career of this player on the French stage.
"Every gift required by the actor," says Hawkins, "was possessed by
Floridor."]
[Footnote 700: _La Melise, ou Les Princes Reconnus_, by Du Rocher,
first acted in Paris in 1633; see _The Athenaeum_, July 11, 1891, p.
73; and cf. _ibid._, p. 139.]
[Footnote 701: "Housekeepers" were owners, who always demanded of the
players as rental for the building a certain part of each day's
takings. The passage quoted means that the housekeepers allowed the
French players to receive _all_ money taken on the two sermon days of
the _first_ week, and after that exacted their usual share as rental
for the building.]
[Footnote 702: That is, Passion Week, during which time the English
companies were never allowed to give performances.]
The use of the Cockpit in Drury Lane came to an end at Easter, for the
Queen's own troupe, under Beeston's management, regularly occupied
that building. But the King summoned the French players to act at
Court on several occasions. Thus Herbert records:
The 4 April, on Easter Monday,[703] they played the
_Trompeur Puny_[704] with better approbation than the
other.
On Wednesday night, the 16 April,[705] 1635, the French
played _Alcimedor_[706] with good approbation.[707]
[Footnote 703: This must be an error, for Easter Monday fell on March
30.]
[Footnote 704: _Le Trompeur Puni, ou Histoire Septentrionale_, by
Scuderi.]
[Footnote 705: Wednesday was the 15th.]
[Footnote 706: _Alcimedon_, by Duryer.]
[Footnote 707: Malone, _Variorum_, III, 121, note.]
Clearly these actors were in high favor at Court. Sir Henry, who did
not as a rule show any hesitancy in accepting fees, notes in the
margin of his book: "The French offered me a present of L10; but I
refused it, and did them many other courtesies gratis to render the
Queen my mistress an acceptable service." In view of this royal favor,
it is not surprising to find that, after they were driven from the
Cockpit, they received permission to fit up a temporary playhouse in
the manage, or riding-school, of one M. Le Febure, in Drury Lane. The
Lord Chamberlain's Office-Book contains the following entry on the
subject:
18 April, 1635: His Majesty hath commanded me to signify his
royal pleasure that the French comedians (having agreed with
Mons. le Febure) may erect a stage, scaffolds, and seats,
and all other accommodations which shall be convenient, and
act and present interludes and stage plays at his house [and
manage[708]] in Drury Lane, during His Majesty's pleasure,
without any disturbance, hindrance, or interruption. And
this shall be to them, and Mr. le Febure, and to all others,
a sufficient discharge, &c.[709]
[Footnote 708: This clause I insert from Mrs. Stopes's notes on the
Lord Chamberlain's records, in the Shakespeare _Jahrbuch_, XLVI, 97.]
[Footnote 709: I have chosen to reproduce the record from Chalmers's
_Apology_, p. 506, note _s_, rather than from Mrs. Stopes's apparently
less accurate notes in the Shakespeare _Jahrbuch_, XLVI, 97.]
Apparently the players lost little time in fitting up the building,
for we read in Herbert's Office-Book:
A warrant granted to Josias D'Aunay,[710] Hurfries de Lau,
and others, for to act plays at a new house in Drury Lane,
during pleasure, the 5 May, 1635.
The King was pleased to command my Lord Chamberlain to
direct his warrant to Monsieur Le Fevure, to give him a
power to contract with the Frenchmen for to build a
playhouse in the manage-house, which was done accordingly by
my advice and allowance.[711]
[Footnote 710: Should we place a comma after "Josias"? That "Josias
Floridor" was the leader of the troupe we know from two separate
entries; cf. Chalmers, _Apology_, pp. 508, 509.]
[Footnote 711: Malone, _Variorum_, III, 122, note.]
In Glapthorne's _The Ladies' Priviledge_ is a good-natured allusion to
the French Company and their vivacious style of acting:[712]
_La._ But, Adorni,
What think you of the French?
_Ador._ Very airy people, who participate
More fire than earth; yet generally good,
And nobly disposition'd, something inclining
To over-weening fancy. This lady
Tells my remembrance of a comic scene
I once saw in their Theatre.
_Bon._ Add it to
Your former courtesies, and express it.
[Footnote 712: Act II, Scene i. This passage is pointed out by
Lawrence, _The Elizabethan Playhouse_, p. 137.]
Whereupon, according to the stage direction, Adorni "acts furiously."
In the margin of his Office-Book Sir Henry Herbert writes
complacently: "These Frenchmen were commended unto me by the Queen,
and have passed through my hands gratis." This was indeed a rare favor
from Herbert; but they did not so easily escape his deputy, William
Blagrove, who accepted from them the sum of "three pounds for his
pains."
How long the French actors occupied their temporary playhouse in Drury
Lane is not clear. In the Lord Chamberlain's book we find an entry
showing that they presented a play at Court in December, 1635:
"Warrant to pay L10 to Josias Floridor for himself and the rest of the
French players for a tragedy by them played before His Majesty Dec.
last."[713] The entry is dated January 8, 1636, and, so far as I can
discover, this is the last reference to the French players in London.
We may suppose that shortly after this they returned to Paris.
[Footnote 713: Stopes, _op. cit._, p. 98, Chalmers, _Apology_, p.
509.]
V
DAVENANT'S PROJECTED THEATRE IN FLEET STREET
On March 26, 1639, William Davenant, who had succeeded Ben Jonson as
Poet Laureate, secured from King Charles a royal patent under the
Great Seal of England to erect a playhouse in Fleet Street, to be used
not only for regular plays, but also for "musical entertainments" and
"scenic representations." Davenant, as we know, was especially
interested in "the art of perspective in scenes," and also in the
Italian _opera musicale_. The royal patent--unusually verbose even for
a patent--is printed in full in Rymer's _Foedera_, XX, 377; I cite
below all the essential passages:
[_The Building._] Know ye, that we, of our especial grace,
certain knowledge, and meere motion, and upon the humble
petition of our servant William Davenant, gentleman, have
given and granted, and by these presents, for us, our heirs,
and successors, do give and grant unto the said William
Davenant, his heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns,
full power, license, and authority ... to frame, new-build,
and set up ... a Theatre or Playhouse, with necessary tiring
and retiring rooms, and other places convenient, containing
in the whole forty yards square at the most,[714] wherein
plays, musical entertainments, scenes, or other like
presentments may be presented ... so as the outwalls of the
said Theatre or Playhouse, tiring or retiring rooms, be made
or built of brick or stone, according to the tenor of our
proclamations in that behalf.
[_Its Location._] Upon a parcel of ground lying near unto or
behind the Three Kings Ordinary in Fleet Street, in the
parishes of Saint Dunstan's in the West, London, or in Saint
Bride's, London, or in either of them; or in any other
ground in or about that place, or in the whole street
aforesaid, already allotted to him for that use, or in any
other place that is or hereafter shall be assigned or
allotted out to the said William Davenant by our right
trusty and right well-beloved cousin and counsellor Thomas,
Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Earl Marshall of England, or any
other of our commissioners for building for that time being
in that behalf.
[_Its Uses._] And we do hereby, for us, our heirs, and
successors, grant to the said William Davenant, his heirs,
executors, administrators, and assigns, that it shall and
may be lawful to and for him, the said William Davenant, his
heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, from time to
time to gather together, entertain, govern, privilege, and
keep, such and so many players and persons, to exercise
action, musical presentments, scenes, dancing, and the like,
as he, the said William Davenant, his heirs, executors,
administrators, and assigns shall think fit and approve for
the said house; and such persons to permit and continue at
and during the pleasure of the said William Davenant, his
heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns, from time to
time to act plays in such house so to be by him or them
erected; and exercise music, musical presentments, scenes,
dancing, or other the like, at the same, or other, hours, or
times, or after plays are ended,[715] peaceably and quietly,
without the impeachment or impediment of any person or
persons whatsoever, for the honest recreation of such as
shall desire to see the same. And that it shall and may be
lawful to and for the said William Davenant, his heirs,
executors, administrators, and assigns, to take and receive
of such our subjects as shall resort to see or hear any such
plays, scenes, and entertainments whatsoever, such sum or
sums of money as is, are, or hereafter from time to time
shall be accustomed to be given or taken in other playhouses
and places for the like plays, scenes, presentments, and
entertainments.
[Footnote 714: The Fortune was only eighty feet square, but the stage
projected to the middle of the yard. Davenant probably wished to
provide for an alcove stage of sufficient depth to accommodate his
"scenes."]
[Footnote 715: That is, he may give his "musical presentments," etc.,
either at the hours when he was accustomed to give plays, or after his
plays are ended. This does not necessarily imply evening
entertainments.]
The novelty of the scheme and the great size of the proposed building
must have alarmed the owners of playhouses. That the established
theatrical proprietors were hostile is clearly indicated by the
attitude of Richard Heton, one of the Sewers of the Chamber to Queen
Henrietta, and at the time manager of the Salisbury Court Playhouse.
In September, 1639, he wrote out a document entitled "Instructions for
my Patent," in which he advanced reasons why he should receive the
sole power to elect the members of the Queen's Company of Players. He
observes that under the existing arrangement the company was free to
leave the Salisbury Court Playhouse at their pleasure, "as in one year
and a half of their being here they have many times threatened"; and
he concludes by adding: "and one now of the chief fellows [i.e.,
sharers of the company], an agent for one [William Davenant] that hath
got a grant from the King for the building of a new playhouse which
was intended to be in Fleet Street, which no man can judge that a
fellow of our Company, and a well-wisher to those that own the house,
would ever be an actor in."[716] Doubtless the owners of other houses
had the same sentiments, and exercised what influence they possessed
against the scheme. But the most serious opposition in all probability
came from the citizens and merchants living in the neighborhood. We
know how bitterly they complained about the coaches that brought
playgoers to the small Blackfriars Theatre, and how strenuously from
year to year they sought the expulsion of the King's Men from the
precinct.[717] They certainly would not have regarded with complacency
the erection in their midst of a still larger theatre.
[Footnote 716: Cunningham, _The Whitefriars Theatre_, in _The
Shakespeare Society's Papers_, IV, 96.]
[Footnote 717: See the chapter on the Second Blackfriars.]
Whatever the opposition, it was so powerful that on October 2 Davenant
was compelled to make an indenture by which he virtually
renounced[718] for himself and his heirs for ever the right to build a
theatre in Fleet Street, or in any other place "in or near the cities,
or suburbs of the cities, of London or Westminster," without further
and special permission granted. This document, first printed by
Chalmers in his _Supplemental Apology_, is as follows:
This indenture made the second day of October, in the
fifteenth year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord Charles,
by the grace of God, of England, Scotland, France, and
Ireland King, Defender of the Faith, &c. _Anno Domini_ 1639.
Between the said King's most excellent Majesty of the first
part, and William Davenant of London, Gent., of the other
part. Whereas the said King's most excellent Majesty, by His
Highness's letters patents under the Great Seal of England
bearing date the six and twentieth day of March last past
before the date of these presents, did give and grant unto
the said William Davenant, his heirs, executors,
administrators, and assigns full power, license, and
authority that he, they, and every of them, by him and
themselves and by all and every such person or persons as he
or they shall depute or appoint, and his and their laborers,
servants, and workmen, shall and may lawfully, quietly, and
peaceably frame, erect, new build, and set up upon a parcel
of ground lying near unto or behind the Three Kings Ordinary
in Fleet Street in the Parish of St. Dunstan's in the West,
London, or in St. Bride's London, or in either of them, or
in any other ground in or about that place, or in the whole
street aforesaid, already allotted to him for that use, or
in any other place that is or hereafter shall be assigned
and allotted out to the said William Davenant by the Right
Honorable Thomas, Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Earl Marshall
of England, or any other His Majesty's Commissioners for
Building, for the time being in that behalf, a theatre or
playhouse with necessary tiring and retiring rooms and other
places convenient, containing in the whole forty yards
square at the most, wherein plays, musical entertainments,
scenes, or other the like presentments may be presented by
and under certain provisors or conditions in the same
contained, as in and by the said letters patents, whereunto
relation being had more fully and at large, it doth and may
appear.
Now this indenture witnesseth, and the said William Davenant
doth by these presents declare, His Majesty's intent,
meaning at and upon the granting of the said license was and
is that he, the said William Davenant, his heirs,
executors, administrators nor assigns should not frame,
build, or set up the said theatre or playhouse in any place
inconvenient, and that the said parcel of ground lying near
unto or behind the Three Kings Ordinary in Fleet Street in
the said Parish of St. Dunstan's in the West, London, or in
St. Bride's, London, or in either of them, or in any other
ground in or about that place, or in the whole street
aforesaid, and is sithence found inconvenient and unfit for
that purpose, therefore the said William Davenant doth for
himself his heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns,
and every of them, covenant, promise, and agree to and with
our said Sovereign Lord the King, his heirs and successors,
that he, the said William Davenant, his heirs, executors,
administrators, nor assigns shall not, nor will not, by
virtue of the said license and authority to him granted as
aforesaid, frame, erect, new build, or set up upon the said
parcel of ground in Fleet Street aforesaid, or in any other
part of Fleet Street, a theatre or playhouse, nor will not
frame, erect, new build, or set up upon any other parcel of
ground lying in or near the cities, or suburbs of the
cities, of London or Westminster any theatre or playhouse,
unless the said place shall be first approved and allowed by
warrant under His Majesty's sign manual, or by writing under
the hand and seal of the said Right Honorable Thomas, Earl
of Arundel and Surrey. In witness whereof to the one part of
this indenture the said William Davenant hath set his hand
and seal the day and year first above written.
WILLIAM DAVENANT. L.S.
Signed sealed and delivered
in the presence of
Edw. Penruddoks.
Michael Baker.
[Footnote 718: That he did not actually surrender the patent is shown
by the fact that he claimed privileges by virtue of it after the
Restoration; see Halliwell-Phillipps, _A Collection of Ancient
Documents_, p. 48.]
Possibly as a recompense for this surrender of his rights, Davenant
was made Governor of the King's and Queen's Servants at the Cockpit in
June of the following year; and from this time until the suppression
of acting in 1642, he expended his energies in managing the affairs of
this important playhouse.
BIBLIOGRAPHY
[In the following list are included the books and articles
constituting the main authorities upon which the present study is
based. The list is not intended to be an exhaustive bibliography,
though from the nature of the case it is fairly complete. For the
guidance of scholars the more important titles are marked with
asterisks. It will be seen that not all the works are included which
are cited in the text, or referred to in footnotes; the list, in fact,
is strictly confined to works bearing upon the history of the
pre-Restoration playhouses. Considerations of space have led to the
omission of a large number of books dealing with the topography of
London, and of the counties of Middlesex and Surrey, although a
knowledge of these is essential to any thorough study of the
playhouses. Furthermore, titles of contemporary plays, pamphlets, and
treatises are excluded, except a few of unusual and general value.
Finally, discussions of the structure of the early stage, of the
manner of dramatic performances in the time of Shakespeare, and of the
travels of English actors on the Continent are omitted, except when
these contain also material important for the study of the theatres.
At the close is appended a select list of early maps and views of
London.]

MAPS AND VIEWS OF LONDON
I
CRACE, J.G. _A Catalogue of Maps, Plans, and Views of London,
Westminster, and Southwark, Collected and Arranged by Frederick
Crace._ London, 1878. (This collection of maps is now in the British
Museum. The Catalogue is not always trustworthy.)
GOMME, L. The Story of London Maps. (_The Geographical Journal_,
London, 1908, XXXI, 489, 616.)
MARTIN, W. A Study of Early Map-Views of London. (_The Antiquary_,
London, 1909, XLV, 337, 406. See also _Home Counties Magazine_, IX.)
II
VAN DEN WYNGAERDE, A. View of London, Westminster, and Southwark. (The
original drawing, made about 1530, is now preserved in the Sutherland
Collection in the Bodleian Library. A reproduction in three sections
will be found in Besant's _London in the Time of the Tudors_.)
BRAUN, G., AND F. HOGENBERGIUS. _Londinum Feracissimi Angliae Regni
Metropolis._ (In _Civitates Orbis Terrarum_, Cologne, 1572. The map is
based on an original, now lost, drawn between 1554 and 1558; see
Alfred Marks, _The Athenaeum_, March 31, 1906.)
AGAS, R. _Civitas Londinum._ (This map, executed about 1570, is based
on the same original map, 1554-58, made use of by Braun and
Hogenbergius, although Agas has introduced a few changes. The two
earliest copies are in Guildhall, London, and in the Pepysian Library
at Cambridge. The student should be warned against Vertue's
reproduction, often met with. The best reproduction is that by The
London Topographical Society, 1905.)
NORDEN, J. _London._ (In _Speculum Britanniae, an Historical and
Chorographical Description of Middlesex. By the Travaile and View of
John Norden_. London, 1593. The map was engraved by Pieter Vanden
Keere.)
DELARAM, F. View of London. (In the background of an engraving, made
about 1603, representing King James on horseback.)
HONDIUS, J. _London._ (A small view of the city set in the large map
of "The Kingdome of Great Britaine and Ireland" printed in John
Speed's _Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine_, London, 1611. The
plate is dated 1610, but the inset view of London seems to have been
based on an earlier view, now lost, representing the city as it was in
or before 1605. Apparently the views, in the Delaram portrait of King
James, and on the title-pages of Henry Holland's _Her[Greek:
o]ologia_, 1620, and Sir Richard Baker's _Chronicle_, 1643, were based
also on this lost view.)
VISSCHER, C.J. _London._ (This splendid view was printed in 1616; but
it was drawn several years earlier, and represents the city as it was
in or before 1613.)
MERIAN, M. _London._ (In J.L. Gottfried's _Neuwe Archontologia
Cosmica_, Frankfurt am Mayn, 1638. Based mainly on Visscher's View,
but with additions from some other earlier view not yet identified.)
[RYTHER, A.] _The Cittie of London._ (This map, erroneously attributed
to Ryther in the Catalogue of the Crace Collection, is often misdated
1604. It was made between 1630 and 1640; see _Notes and Queries_, IV
Series, IX, 95; VI Series, XII, 361, 393; VII Series, III, 110, 297,
498.)
HOLLAR, W. View of London. (The View is dated 1647; Hollar was in
banishment from England between the years 1643 and 1652. Excellently
reproduced by The London Topographical Society, 1907.)
[? HOLLAR, W.] _London._ (In James Howell's _Londinopolis_, London,
1657. This view is a poor copy of Merian's splendid view, 1638. Though
generally attributed to Hollar, it is unsigned.)
FAITHORNE, W., AND R. NEWCOURT. _An Exact Delineation of the Cities of
London and Westminster, and the Suburbs Thereof._ London, 1658.
(Reproduced by The London Topographical Society, 1905.)
PORTER, T. Map of London and Westminster. (About 1660. Probably based
on the earlier map, 1630-40, mistakenly ascribed to Ryther. Reproduced
by The London Topographical Society, 1898.)
MOORE, J. Map of London, Westminster, and Southwark. (Drawn in 1662.
Reproduced by The London Topographical Society, 1912.)
OGILBY, J., AND W. MORGAN. _A Large and Accurate Map of the City of
London, 1677._ (Reproduced by The London and Middlesex Archaeological
Society, 1895, with Ogilby's description of the map, entitled _London
Surveyed_.)
