 C. H. Herford and Percy Simpson, in their edition of Jonson's works, argued that the two masques had been chronologically transposed, and that "TGAR" was the earlier work.Their argument received some general acceptance for a time, but was refuted by later researchers.The masques in the 1616 folio appear to be arranged in a consistent chronological order; and "The Golden Age Restored", as noted, is last.
