The London Stage, 1700 - 1729

“We take off our hats to the University of Southern Illinois Press for a very imaginative and useful move which it is making. All of us realize the tremendous value of the editorial work which has gone into the preparation of the various volumes of the great series The London Stage. Now the full prefatory material for the five main divisions has been sepa­rately reprinted in inexpensive paperback form, each with illustrations and a separate index… For everyone interested in English drama and the development of the London stage these paperback volumes will be indis­pensable.”—Johnsonian News Letter
