Among his other works may be mentioned Euphues’ censure to Philautus, the Triumph of Time (1588), from which Shakespeare borrowed the plot of The Winter’s Tale, A Notable Discovery of Coosnage, Arbasto, King of Denmark, Penelope’s Web, Menaphon (1589), and Coney Catching. His plays, all published posthumously, include Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay, Alphonsus King of Aragon, and George- a-Greene, the Pinner of Wakefield. His tales are written under the influence of Lyly, whence he received from Gabriel Harvey the nickname of “Euphues’ Ape.”

Plays edited by Dyce (2 vols., 1831, new ed., 1861). His works are included in Grosart’s “Huth Library.”
