''The Woman Hater'' is an early Jacobean era stage play, a comedy by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher. One of the earliest of their collaborations, it was the first of their plays to appear in print, in 1607. ==Date and publication== The play was entered into the Stationers' Register on 20 May 1607, and was published later that year in quarto by the bookseller John Hodgets. A second imprint of the first quarto was issued in the same year. The title page offers no assignment of authorship. A few critics have suggested a 1605 date for the play,〔E. H. C. Oliphant, ''The Plays of Beaumont and Fletcher: An Attempt to Determine Their Respective Shares and the Shares of Others,'' New Haven, Yale University Press, 1927; p. 216.〕 but most favor a date of 1606. A second quarto was issued in 1648 by Humphrey Moseley, with an attribution to Fletcher. The second imprint of this second quarto, issued in 1649, assigned the play to both Beaumont and Fletcher and added a subtitle to the play, calling it ''The Woman Hater, or The Hungry Courtier.''〔E. K. Chambers, ''The Elizabethan Stage,'' 4 Volumes, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1923; Vol. 3, pp. 219-20.〕 Like other previously-published plays, ''The Woman Hater'' was omitted from the first Beaumont and Fletcher folio of 1647. The play was later included in the second Beaumont/Fletcher folio in 1679. The song "Come, Sleep" from Act III has been anthologized〔Quiller-Couch, A. ''The Oxford Book of English Verse: 1250-1900.'' Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1901, rpt 1919. No. 207. "Q" attributes the poem to Fletcher.〕 under the title "Sleep" and often set to music by (later composers. ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Woman Hater」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
