Transcript

University of Durham, Department of English King’s College, Newcastle upon Tyne, 1
3.8.55.

Dear Sir Walter,

In working on Timon, I’ve noticed a curious slip in your F.F., p. 411, n. 2. ‘Flavius’ has the authority of text and prefixes in I.ii. Unless you are meaning to express doubt whether this really is the ‘Steward’ of later scenes—but surely I.ii.154 ff. leaves no doubt about it. At II.ii.194, by the way, I doubt whether Sh. actually wrote ‘Flaminius’—‘Flavius’ scans better—tho’ it’s what the rest of the scene demands.

Yours sincerely,
J. C. Maxwell
