Two of the Lady Jane collaborators are the authors named on the titlepage of Wyat whose names were probably used to capitalize on their recent successes Westward Ho and Northward Ho; and the structural defects of Wyat can be shown to stem from omission made necessary by the abridger's ruling principle to retain only the episodes associated directly with Wyat. |
