As to early London theatres see T. F. Ordish, _Early London Theatres_ (London, 1894). Some information as to puppet-plays, &c., will be found in Henry Morley's _Memoirs of Bartholomew Fair_ (London, 1859). Among earlier critical essays on the Elizabethan and Stuart drama should be mentioned those of Sir Philip Sidney, G. Puttenham and W. Webbe, T. Rymer and Dryden. For recent essays and notes on the Elizabethan drama in general, see, besides the essays of Coleridge, Lamb (including the introductory remarks in the _Specimens_), Hazlitt, &c., and the remarkable series of articles in the _Retrospective Review_ (1820-1828), the Publications and Transactions of the Old and New Shakespeare Societies (1841, &c.; 1874, &c.), which also contain reprints of early works of great importance for the history of the Elizabethan drama and stage, such as Henslowe's _Diary_, &c., the _Jahrbuch der deutschen Shakespeare-Gesellschaft_ (1865, &c.), as well as the German journals _Anglia_, _Englische Studien_, &c., and the _Modern Language Review_ (Cambridge). The later English drama from the reopening of the theatres (1660) is treated in L. N. Chase, _The English Heroic Play_ (New York, 1903); C. Cibber, _Apology for the Life of C. Cibber_, written by himself, new ed. by R. W. Lowe (2 vols., London, 1889), who has also edited Churchill's _Rosciad_ and _Apology_ (London, 1891); J. Doran, _Their Majesties' Servants: annals of the English Stage_ (3 vols., London, 1888); A. Filon, _Le Théâtre anglais: hier, aujourd'hui, demain_ (Paris, 1896); W. Hazlitt, _A View of the English Stage_ (_Works_, ed. A. R. Waller, vol. viii.) (London, 1903); W. Nicholson, _The Struggle for a Free Stage in London_ (Westminster, 1907).

A special aspect of the drama in modern Germany is dealt with in P.
