• Five English historical plays were presented in the early Jacobean period: Sir Thomas Wyatt (1603-5), When You See Me You Know Me (1604), Part One of If You Know Not Me You Know Nobody (1605), Part Two of If You Know Not Me You Know Nobody (1605), and The Whore of Babylon (1606). These plays deal with events in the reign of the Tudors. Few critics have been concerned with these plays. Critics tend to say that these plays seem to have lost the characteristics of the chronicle plays, which were presented in the 1590s. Judith Doolin Spikes and Richard Helgerson protest against the critics' opinions of these plays. They insist that these plays were composed within the framework of the triumph of Protestantism over Catholicism in the Tudor period. Paying attention to the politics of the Tudor period, the dramatists changed the history in these plays to introduce new ideas. Sir Thomas Wyatt in the play raises an objection to the rulers' ignorance of the statutes and the precedents in the Mary period. When You See Me You Know Me is a biography of King Henry VIII. Part One of If You Know Not Me You Know Nobody was composed within the framework of the triumph of Protestantism over Catholicism, as Spikes and Helgerson say. But the Part Two has a tendency to transform history into city comedy. Considering the politics in the early Jacobean period, the dramatist in The Whore of Babylon seems to have chosen a good counselor, who could give adequate advice to Queen Titania, as his theme.
