Shakespeare received his first review as a playwright, from Robert Greene in Greene's Groatsworth of Wit. Not a wholly favourable review, perhaps, but the first acknowledgement that he was writing plays. It reads as follows:
"for there is an vpstart Crow, beautified with our feathers, that with his Tygers hart wrapt in a Players hyde, supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blanke verse as the best of you: and being an absolute Iohannes fac totum, is in his owne conceit the onely Shake-scene in a countrey."
The phrase "Tygers hart wrapt in a Players hyde" is a reference to a line from Shakespeare's play Henry VI Part 3 "O tiger's heart wrapp'd in a woman's hide." "Shake-scene" is a play on Shakespeare's name.
