`This valuable book provides the first comprehensive collection of
surviving material from the documents of Sir Henry Herbert. A
lucid, scholarly introduction gives a full account of Herbert's
life and the history of the manuscripts. This is an essential
reference book for any scholar interested in Caroline or
Restoration theatre, and a mine of information too for scholars
charting its later historiography.'
Martin Wiggins, Theatre Notebook, 1997 Volume LI, Number 2
`a useful reference work for the study of Carline culture ... this
work represents an invaluable source book for those studying the
varied entertainments of the Caroline era and may well provide the
basis for more ambitious examinations, as yet unwritten, of the
control and censorship of the drama.'
Humphrey Gyde, New York, Modern Languages Review, Vol 93, no 4,
1998
