[edit] Original Research?
It seems that the content added by User:Linza is original research. Despite looking like the user wrote it himself/herself (based on the information supplied), original research is not material for wikipedia. (See WP:NOR). Can anyone comment on that? Thanks.

[edit] emendation and wikified content
The content of this article was pure scholarly research paper. Must have been cut and pasted by User:Linza from her own research paper. I made several changes so that this article could be wikified:
- I removed references to her name and the context of this writing
- I removed the paragraph dealing with Elizabethan fools (not the subject here)
- I removed the paragraph dealing with William Kemp (there's already an article about him in wikipedia)
- I removed the paragraph dealing with Richard Tarleton (sic) and added it to the article about Richard Tarlton
- I created subtitles
- I removed specific references to the books quoted as sources for copyright reasons.
Hope it might get approval now.
The dating 1580-1612 can hardly be correct if he was apprenticed in 1581, and indeed it seems to be wrong; online Britannica dates him ca. 1568-1615, http://search.eb.com/shakespeare/micro/729/86.html
