Viewing Event Record: John Taylor ridicules William Fennor for his production of 'England's Joy' at the Swan

Abstract

William Fennor stands up John Taylor for an extempore versifying contest at the Hope, and Taylor lashes back in a 'A Cast over the Water.' In his rant, Taylor revives the spector of Fennor's 'England's Joy,' a notorious flop staged at the Swan in 1602.
