I’ve read Chiljan’s essay. The only actual connection she makes is to explain Palamon’s line ‘Venus, I have said, is false’ by concluding that this refers to excised text from the 1566 play in which Palamon earlier accused Venus of inconstancy. But this is far from the only possibility. First, the ur-text is more likely Chaucer’s Knight’s Tale, in which poor Venus is accused by everyone of fickleness. Second, the line may simply be a mistake, surely the most likely explanation of all. Chiljan explores no alternative to her own imagined solution (as a “fine scholar” should).
On hyphenation, I’m amazed that you continue to assert that your entire hypothesis that hyphenation indicates pseudonymity is but a minor point. Please give examples of hyphenated pseudonyms involved with the Tudor theatre, as you promised to earlier, starting with ‘Tom Tell-Truth’ – which Tudor play did he write?
