“Should take its place with The London Stage as one of the major and enduring research tools for students of our period.” —Eighteenth Century Studies “Undoubtedly will rank as an absolutely first-class achievement in theatre scholarship.”—Educational Theatre Journal “Southern Illinois University Press has begun publication of what appears to be another landmark reference work on English theatre, upholding the excellence and thoroughness begun with the previously published The London Stage, 1660–1800.”—Choice
