Blurt, Master Constable
''Blurt, Master Constable'' is a late Elizabethan comedy, interesting for the authorship problem it presents.
The play is subtitled "The Spaniards' Night Walk," and an allusion to the Spanish in Ireland in the play's final scene — there was a Spanish raid on Ireland in September 1601 — helps to fix the date of the play to 1601-2. ''Blurt'' was entered into the Stationers' Register on 7 June 1602, and published later in that year in quarto, printed by Edward Allde for the bookseller Henry Rocket (the single edition in the 17th century). The title page of the quarto states that the play was acted by the Children of Paul's, one of the troupes of boy actors performing at the time.
==Authorship==
There is no direct attribution of authorship in any contemporary source. Francis Kirkman, the Restoration era printer, attributed the play to Thomas Middleton in 1661. Thomas Dekker was first linked to the play by the scholar E. H. C. Oliphant in 1926. Since then, 20th-century scholars have looked at ''Blurt'' as the work of Middleton, or Dekker, or both.〔Logan and Smith, pp. 33-4, 57, 72.〕 The majority view through much of the middle and later 20th century tended to favor the hypothesis that ''Blurt'' is a Dekker/Middleton collaboration. Yet David Lake, in his analysis of authorshsip problems in the Middleton canon, concludes that Middleton had nothing to do with the play and assigns the whole of it to Dekker with no collaborator.〔Lake, pp. 66-91.〕
