Excerpt from The Collaboration of Webster and Dekker: A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Yale University in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Now if we could point out with reasonable de finiteness about what were the parts Of Webster and Dekker in their collaborated plays, the results would be valuable from several different points of View. In the first place, we should have the scientific satis faction Of settling a matter Of fact, and the happy consciousness of giving each writer his due. In the second place, we should gain a glimpse into Webster's intellectual life during his stage of growth. And thirdly, we should throw some light upon the range and limitations Of Webster as an author. If Webster wrote the first and third scenes of Act II in West ward Ho, or the parts Of Captain Jenkins and Hans. Van Belch in Northward Ho, then he showed an element Of pleasant humor and manysidedness which is not indicated anywhere else. If he did not write these and similar scenes in a play where he had a special Opportunity to write them, then we shall be strengthened in our Old belief that he was an author Of great power, but limited range. The object Of this thesis will be to divide the three collaborated plays Of Webster and Dekker, and to point out as accurately as possible what seems to be the share Of each. In doing this, I shall discuss the two citizen-comedies first, and then take up Sir Thomas Wyatt in a chapter by itself.
