The Travels of the Three English Brothers
''The Travels of the Three English Brothers'' is an early Jacobean era stage play, an adventure drama written in 1607 by John Day, William Rowley, and George Wilkins. The drama was based on the true-life experiences of the three Shirley brothers, Sir Anthony Shirley, Sir Thomas Shirley, and Robert Shirley (later Sir Robert).〔Anthony Parr, "Foreign relations in Jacobean England: the Sherley brothers and the 'voyage of Persia'," in: ''Travel and Drama in Shakespeare's Time'', edited by Jean-Pierre Marquelot and Michele Willems, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1996; pp. 14-31.〕 The play illustrates the trend toward extreme topicality in some works of English Renaissance drama.
==Date and Source==
The play was based on an account of the Shirleys' travels by Anthony Nixon, published in pamphlet form and titled ''The Three English Brothers''. (The Shirley brothers had been the subjects of two previous pamphlets, in 1600 and 1601; but Nixon's work is thought to have been backed by the Shirley family.)〔Peter Holland, "The dramatic form of journeys in English Renaissance drama," in Marquelot and Willems, p. 166.〕 The pamphlet was entered into the Stationers' Register on 8 June 1607, and was published soon after. The play was entered into the Register less than two months later, on 29 June that year.〔E. K. Chambers, ''The Elizabethan Stage'', 4 Volumes, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1923; Vol. 3, pp. 286-7〕 This suggests that the three playwrights may have put the drama together in the space of about six weeks.
