Scope and content

(The note relates to the phrase ‘Let the galled jade wince’ (Hamlet, III. ii. 231-2). It was probably sent to Aldis Wright when he was working on the Clarendon Press edition of the play, published in 1872. The edition of Wyclif cited is that of 1871, and the note is written on part of a draft of Skeat’s edition of Joseph of Arimathie, published the same year (cf. p. 70).)
