About This Book

The book assembles a methodical catalogue of English plays extant to its time, recording titles, editions, and authors—both named and anonymously attributed—while tracing their probable sources in foreign and classical models. It reorders and corrects earlier lists, offers notes on misattributions and suspected borrowings, and groups material into sections for authors, anonymous pieces, and source analyses. The preface outlines methodology and debts to prior compilers, and occasional critical comments reflect the compiler's judgments about attribution and influence. Overall it functions as a bibliographical reference and a polemic about theatrical authorship and literary borrowing.
