*       Royal petitions

*       Romance plays
*       History plays (the qualifier "often" was added to the otherwise unchanged scope note)
*       Revised and re-posted:
*       Essays
Reconsidered:
Oriental tales - In light of the charged nature of the term, especially since explanatory scope notes are not visible in typical library catalogs, and the limited literary warrant and usage, the CV editors have decided not to reverse their earlier decision to delete this term.

We look forward to hearing from you!
