The Oxford Companion to Shakespeare


A Yorkshire Tragedy

Yorkshire Tragedy, A,
a tragedy based on real-life murders committed in Yorkshire in 1605, which was included (among other apocryphal works) in the Third Folio, probably because Pavier and Jaggard had published it as Shakespeare's in 1608 and 1619. It is now attributed to Thomas Middleton.
