iii. Summary of Court Performances, 1590-1642

Total number of plays that were or may have been presented at Court, 1590-1642 144

1. Plays definitely produced publicly before appearance at Court 67 46.5%

2. Plays where initial performance is uncertain 39 27.1% (Notice of Court performance is _only_ or _first_ reference to play.)

3. Plays for which there is evidence public playing preceded Court performance 8 5.5%

4. Uncertain. Title pages indicate performances in public and at Court 6 4.2%

5. Plays the title pages of which refer only to public performance 4 2.8%

6. Plays which received licenses shortly before Court performances 8 5.5%

7. Old plays revived, possibly with additions for Court 4 2.8%

The total number of plays presented at Court is calculated from the lists appearing in E. K. Chambers, _The Elizabethan Stage_ and Mary Steele, _Plays and Masques at Court_. The investigation of the circumstances under which the plays received their first presentations employed a wide variety of primary and secondary sources. It is beyond the scope of this book to give the evidence for each conclusion.
