2 unusual facts about Revenge for Honour


Revenge for Honour

"Revenge for Honour" was believed up to the 20th century to have been written by George Chapman, appearing in volumes of his works in the 19th century, but the current consensus appears to favor authorship by Glapthorne since J.H. Walter's article in The Review of English Studies (1937).

In The Review of English Studies (1935), C.F. Beckingham pronounces the play as being "worthless", comparing it unfavorably to William Shakespeare's Othello, and noting borrowings from that play.
