> Remarks | Supplemented by part of udall.e1. Helsinki gives the page references for this play by verse number rather than line number, making it possible, for instance, for verse 44 on p. 7 to precede verse 1 on the same page. For clarity and convenience, the sample selection above gives both verse numbers and line numbers. The authorship of the text is a matter of debate; in addition to William Stevenson, two other authors have been suggested: John Still (1543-1607) and John Bridges (c1540-1618; entered Cambridge 1556). Source: Charles Hunter Ross. 1897. The authorship of Gammer Gurton's Needle. Anglia 19:297ff. Contractions in this text are not regularized to the modern standard (deviating from our usual practice).
