Literature - Shakespeare The Puritan or the Widow of Watling Street by Mr William Shakespeare London 1734. Engraved frontispiece repaired modern boards 60pp 8vo. A Shakespearean curiosity. The play first published around 1606 was attributed to Shakespeare because the author on the first edition was described as `W S`. As a result it was included in the 1664 edition of the Third Folio of Shakespeare`s plays. It is highly unlikely however that this by Shakespeare and suggestions for its authorship have included Wentworth Smith and more likely Thomas Middleton.
