246 WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE I am supported in this view by the re- markable discoveries of Halliwell, who shows that many of the names in these plays are taken from those of people living in Warwickshire in Shakespeare's time. It looks as if Shakespeare, after writing the play with real names, let the names of the minor characters stand, and changed only those of the chief ones. Halliwell finds in the Stratford records the names of Bardolf, Fluellen, Davy (Jones), Perkes, Peto, Partlett, Sly, Heme,... Home, Brome, Page, and Ford ; and he thinks it curious and worthy of remark that " he condescended to employ in his plays the appellations of persons with whom he was probably familiar in his youth. " But they were the real persons as well as the real names. Why shouldn't they be ? " In whatever he has of historical fact, " says Mr. Hudson, "Shakespeare's main authority was Holinshed. And in this case it is hard to say whether the Poet have showed a more creative or a more learned spirit ; there being perhaps no PORTRA YED BY HIMSELF.
