"This book provides a chornological listing ... of plays, masks, and similar forms of entertainment, devised in England (or by Englishmen abroad) from the time of the earliest Quem Quaeritis trope in the tenth century until the death of Dryden in 1700. Coverage is broad enough to include plays in Latin or French, lost works, closet dramas, translations and adaptations, and descriptions of royal receptions and civic entertainments ... Additional information is provided regarding playwrights, theatres and companies, as well as the location of all extant dramatic manuscripts"--Cover.
