This work, of over three hundred pages exclusive of bibliography and index, forms our first exhaustive study of English dramatic literature for the years between 1642 and 1780. The plan of the work is historical, with a grouping of plays and authors chiefly according to the types of drama successively in vogue. A brief sketch of the relations existing between Elizabethan and Restoration drama reveals at the outset Professor Nettleton’s interest in the English elements of our drama as distinct from various foreign influences.
“The reader will find in Professor Nettleton a safe guide and a sound critic.”—London Spectator.
“Good working text by an authority. Invaluable to students, as it covers a period which has been so far only partly treated.”—A. L. A. Booklist.
“A practical handbook for those who wish to gain by the least possible expenditure of time and attention a clear idea of English drama.”—Providence Journal.
“The book is excellent.”—The Dial.
