Why is The Generall not included among Orrery's works and is instead listed as a play attributed to him? Is the attribution of that play disputed? W. S. Clark included it with a fat note on its history in his 1937 edition of Orrery's works. Eawonder (talk) 11:56, 15 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

I can't answer for this, but in the first publication of it by Halliwell-Phillipps (1853) he attributed it to James Shirley. I'll shortly be republishing it on the Presscom site, although this version has been criticised elsewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Presscom (talkcontribs) 21:27, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
