A Biographical Dictionary of Actors, Volume 12, Pinner to Rizzo Volume 12

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"No major reference library can afford to ignore these works in which the authors . . . 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 65 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 and Performing Arts Collections

"This multi-volume work is one of the most important reference aids to be published on the English theatre of the Res-toration and eighteenth-century."

-American Reference Books Annual

"An indispensable reference."-The English Association

"A reference set of the first importance."-The Eighteenth Century
