Notes
1. All dates for Kyd’s plays are taken from Wiggins. The number following each date is its place in the chronological sequence. In the case of Edward III (1593) and Richard III (1593) the plays are too close in time to be separated.

3. The origin of phylogenetic analysis can be traced to Charles Darwin, who discovered the “pathway of species,” termed evolution, in 1859. Darwin believed that the comparative study of the anatomical structures of living animals was crucial for reconstructing the “tree” of extinct and existing species. Less complex species would be located near the root and higher-level animals would be located at the top of the tree. Today, this idea has been widely applied to phylogenetic studies based on the elucidation of the structure and function of the DNA molecule by Watson and Crick.The discovery has made it possible to analyze the genetic codes letter by letter and objectively reconstruct the phylogenetic tree of different species.
