Spelling?[edit]

In this and [Master of the Revels|other] articles spelling is inconsistant between tylney and tilney. Could someone sort this out please as I don't know which is right. OrangeDog 11:11, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]


This issue is discussed in the essay called "On Edmond Tyllney's Biography" by W. R. Streitberger. I have used this essay for this page. I quote from the essay: "The spellings Tilney, Tyllney, and Tylney appear in contemporary official documents and side by side in Tyllney's own manuscript works. However, when he wrote it or commissioned it to be written, as in the case of the funeral monument, it is spellt Tyllney".Rudrani (talk) 20:43, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Shakespeare's plays seemed to have suffered the severest form of censorship under Tilney.[edit]

Censorship of the deposition scene (Richard II)[edit]

"However, Tilney's censorship was not of a generalising nature. While he did omit politically volatile passages and scenes, some, like the deposition scene in Richard II and the murder of Julius Caesar, were allowed to remain." In fact it seems wrong.
