“No major reference library can afford to ignore these works in which the authors Philip H. Highfill, Jr., Kalman A. Bur­nim, and Edward A. Langhans continue their census of London theatrical per­sons of all ranks, from the Restoration to the Regency—clowns and carpenters, scene painters and strolling players, dan­cers and dwarfs, managers and monolo­gists. Theirs is the fruit of a search of many years through sixty-five libraries. The entries are illuminated by portraits and illustrations gleaned from public galleries and private collections all over the world. The set is a reference work of the first order.”—Theatre & Performing Arts Collections“This multi-volume work is one of the most important reference aids to be published on the English theatre of the Res­toration and eighteenth-century.”—American Reference Books Annual“An indispensable reference.”—The English Association
