        The Troublesome Reign of King John (c. 1589) is an Elizabethan history play
        probably by George Peele
        generally accepted by scholars as the source and model 'King John'
        
        The play was printed three times in quarto in Shakespeare's era:
        Q1, 1591
          published by the stationer Sampson Clarke
          no attribution of authorship
          title page states - performed by Queen Elizabeth's Men
          not an exceptionally long play  - c300 lines longer than Shakespeare's
          the initial publication split the play into two parts
            The scholarly literature often refers to Parts 1 and 2 of the play
        Q2, 1611
          published by John Helme
          printed by Valentine Simmes
          authorship assigned to "W. Sh."
          first quarto's division into two parts removed
        Q3, 1622
          published by Thomas Dewes
          printed by Augustine Matthews
          authorship assigned to "W. Shakespeare"
        
        Some 19th-century critics accepted the 1622 attribution to Shakespeare
        among 20th-century commentators
          E.B. Everitt and Peter Ackroyd have defended the Shakespearean attribution
        Other candidates for the author
          Christopher Marlowe, Robert Greene, Thomas Lodge, and George Peele
        no scholarly consensus has been achieved
        
        The main historical sources for The Troublesome Reign
          thought to be the Chronicles of Raphael Holinshed
          Foxe's Book of Martyrs
          perhaps Richard Grafton's Chronicle at Large
            a recapitulation of much of the John Foxe's book

    Supplement to Warburton's Edition of Shakespeare,
    in later editions called The Canons of Criticism
    a satirical but spot-on analysis of Warburton's editorial emendations Samuel Johnson said "Soon after Edwards's Canons of Criticism came out, Johnson was dining at Tonson the Bookseller's, with Hayman the Painter and some more company. Hayman related to Sir Joshua Reynolds, that the conversation having turned upon Edwards's book, the gentlemen praised it much, and Johnson allowed its merit. But when they went farther, and appeared to put that author upon a level with Warburton, 'Nay, (said Johnson,) he has given him some smart hits to be sure; but there is no proportion between the two men; they must not be named together. A fly, Sir, may sting a stately horse and make him wince; but one is but an insect, and the other is a horse still.' @(|Edwards, Thomas (1699-1757)|)
