English Drama of the Restoration and Eighteenth Century (1642-1780)
By GEORGE HENRY NETTLETON
Cloth, 12mo, $1.50
This work, of over three hundred pages exclusive of bibliography and index, forms our first exhaustive study of English dramatic literature for the years between 1642 and 1780. The plan of the work is historical, with a grouping of plays and authors chiefly according to the types of drama successively in vogue. A brief sketch of the relations existing between Elizabethan and Restoration drama reveals at the outset Professor Nettleton’s interest in the English elements of our drama as distinct from various foreign influences.
“The reader will find in Professor Nettleton a safe guide and a sound critic.”—London Spectator.
“Good working text by an authority. Invaluable to students, as it covers a period which has been so far only partly treated.”—A. L. A. Booklist.
“A practical handbook for those who wish to gain by the least possible expenditure of time and attention a clear idea of English drama.”—Providence Journal.
“The book is excellent.”—The Dial.

The Life and Times of Laurence Sterne
By WILBUR L. CROSS
Illustrated, cloth, 8vo, $2.50
“Something more than a mere record of Laurence Sterne is embodied within the covers of Professor Cross’s volume. It forms a significant series of pictures of its time, and it sets before us the character of many famous men of a famous period in English literature.”—Boston Transcript.
“Indispensable to all thorough students of English literature.”—Boston Globe.
“An admirable biography of the distinguished English novelist, humorist, and clergyman, ... replete with information gleaned from widely different sources and written in a style that holds the reader’s interest throughout.”—Baltimore Sun.
“One feels that it will remain standard and indispensable. It has already supplanted all previous Lives of Sterne, and all future estimates must reckon with this book. It was years a-making, and it will take many years to make it obsolete.”—The Bookman.
“An excellent biography, accurate in content, unusually full in detail, well constructed, clear and pleasing in style.”—Chicago Record-Herald.
