| Description: | The Georgian Theatre 1714-1837 website provides a useful reference guide to plays staged in London and the American Colonies during the eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. While some of the material was withdrawn from free usage in early 2006, the open access elements of the site include 'New Plays on the London Stage, 1700 - 1810', 'The Colonial American Stage, 1665 - 1774', and 'The New London Stage, 1700 - 1729'. These features include details concerning the theatre at which the play was staged, the date of the first performance, the author, and genre (comedy, tragedy, opera, masque etc.). Notes mention alternative titles of the piece in question, whether it is a sequel or adaptation, revisions and additions, and refer to notable pamphlets and other printed materials mentioning the play. A 'Basic Bibliography of Restoration and Eighteenth Century English Drama' is also included. While some of the features on the site are accessed via a link, others open as downloadable Word documents. This is a notable online resource, which should be of great interest to scholars researching the drama and theatre history of the period. |
