K., The Elizabethan Stage, (4 vols., Oxford, 1961), ii, 206Google Scholar; See also Historical MSS Commission, Fourth Report (1874)Google Scholar, col. 330. The exchange with Lambarde, cited by almost all commentators upon perceived parallels between Richard and Elizabeth, includes the queen's celebrated remark connecting the Essex rebellion with the theatrical popularity of the Richard story: ‘…this tragedy was played 40 times in open streets and houses.’
