We'll leave most of the ancillary stuff for next week, I think.

Stumbled across this bit about Robert Greene and patronage in the Norton Anthology of British Lit., cf. with Shakespeare's experience with Southampton:
“Greene. . .had sixteen different patrons for seventeen books, [which] suggests that he did not find much favor or support from any one of them. Indeed, a practice grew up of printing off several dedications to be inserted into particular copies of a book, so that an impecunious author could deceive each of several patrons into thinking that he or she was the uniquely fortunate person to be honored by the volume.”(NAEL, vol. B, 500)
