Excerpt from The British Drama, Vol. 1: Comprehending the Best Plays in the English Language; Tragedies Having thus vindicated the superior excellencies of the modern drama against the boasted claims of Greece, it would be agreeable to the tenor of the editor's plan, and the objects he has in View, to shew, that Britain pos sesses as decided a pre-eminence, in this branch of literature, over contempo rary nations, as she does over remote antiquity. An examination into the state of the various theatres of Europe would incontestably prove the truth of this remark. But, as our right to the dramatic palm has never been disputed, such an inquiry seems unnecessary. It remains, therefore, to explain the mo tives, which led the editor to the present undertaking.

Excerpt from The Ancient British Drama, Vol. 1 of 3 Tun present Publication is intended to form, with 7714! British Drama, and Shakapcare, a complete and uniform Collection, in Ten Volumes, of the best English Plays. The distinction of Ancient and Modem will be found to consist chiefly in reference to their having lost or retained possession of the Stage. Hamlet and Macbeth, for example, cannot, in this sense, be termed ancient Plays, although prior in date to many, or indeed to most of those which will be found in the following Volumes. It is unnecessary to inform the lovers of the Drama, that although the later and more fashionable department of the Collection will be found most useful to the frequenters of the Theatre, yet that which we are now prefacing will be the most acceptable to the admirers of poetry. From the latter end of the sixteenth century to the breaking out of the civil war, the best Poets of England were engaged in dramatic composition; and Dnn'ron and spencer are the only authors of eminent reputation, who have not written for the Stage.

Nicoll's History, which tells the story of English drama from the reopening of the theatres at the time of the Restoration right through to the end of the Victorian period, was viewed by Notes and Queries (1952) as 'a great work of exploration, a detailed guide to the untrodden acres of our dramatic history, hitherto largely ignored as barren and devoid of interest'.
The first volume of a comprehensive reference work detailing every play written by a British author during the English Renaissance. This volume covers the turbulent middle years of the sixteenth century, from the English Reformation under Henry VII to the baptismal festivities for the future King James VI and I.
