The Marian Theory Informs "1 Henry IV" and "2 Henry IV": The Proximate Cause of that Harvey/Peto Names Divergence

This article assesses the Shakespearean corpus plays "The First Part of Henry the Fourth" and "The Second Part of Henry the Fourth." It concentrates upon a matter glancingly heeded previously. A supporting character, Harvey, is renamed Peto between "The First Part of Henry the Fourth's" creation ("Quarto Zero") in circa 1596 and its 1598 Quarto incarnation. This substitution-name lingers into "The Second Part of Henry the Fourth." The investigation progresses in light of the Marian Theory of several Shakespearean corpus creations.
