Présentation de l'éditeur

On the title-page of the first play, printed in 1632, he is called Schackerley Marmyon, Master of A rts; next year, on the second, he is entered as Shakerley Marmyon; and, thirdly, in 1641, hcj appears as Shackerly Mermion, Gent. Although Mr Singer, in his elegant reprint of this authors Poem of Cupid and Psyche, which emanated from the ChiswicK Press in 1820, inclines to call him Shakerley Marmion, our bias, guided by the preponderance of authority, is in favour of his being designated Shackerley Marmion. Shakerly, however, was an ancient family name in England. Francis, fifth Earl of Shrewsbury, who died on 25th September 1560, according to Collins, took as his second wife Grace, daughter of Robert Shakerley of Little Longdon in Derbyshire, Esq., but had no issue by her. Lodge says she was the widow of Robert Shakerley of Holme in Cheshire. The name was territorial, and the chief of the family was Sir Jeffrey Shakerly of Shakerly, in the county of Lancaster. His eldest son George married A nne, youngest daughter of Sir Walter Bagot of Bagot, who died 15th February 1704, in the sixtieth year of his age. Shackerley Marmion, it is surmized by Singer, was descended from the ancient and noble family of the Marmions of Scrivelsby, in whom was Collins Peerage by Sir E. Brydges, Vol. III., page 23.
