Wing B1582.This edition includes the FIRST FOLIO APPEARANCE of 'The Two Noble Kinsmen', attributed to John Fletcher and William Shakespeare. The play was first published in quarto format in 1634. It was not included in the First Folio (1623) or any of the subsequent Folios of Shakespeare's works; nor was it included in the first folio of Beaumont and Fletcher's Works (1647). The dual attribution for the play is now generally accepted by scholarly consensus.
