For a useful exposition of the 1733 and 1743 disputes in terms of the licensing act see Watson Nicholson, The Struggle for a Free Stage in London (Cambridge, Mass.: Archibald Constable & Co., 1906.).
Percy Fitzgerald, The Life of Mrs. Catherine Clive (London: A. Reader, 1888), p. 24. P.J. Crean, "The Life and Times of Kitty Clive," Diss. Univ. of London, 1933, is, however, the authority on Clive's life. I am indebted to Professor Crean.
Quoted in Mary E. Knapp, Prologues and Epilogues of the Eighteenth Century (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1961), p. 69.
Yet, with Fitzgerald (Life, p. 34), I believe that Fielding could have helped Mrs. Clive ready her Case for the press. Certainly the "correctness" of that printed text could not have been achieved by her alone. Cf. Clive's MS letters, Appendix, "An Edition of the Afterpieces."
