The New Mermaid makes references to Hattaway and is dated after 2000. My supposition is that it supercedes Hattaway in the Cambridge Companion. There, the play is dated to first publication rather than writing. If the reference to 1607 is solid and comes from more recent scholarship, we should by all means make a change, but we really need a citation at the foot of the article to indicate that source. I have no reason to believe one or the other, but best practice suggests going with the most recent scholarship. Geogre 02:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
