Reviews
Wiggins does a commendable job of drawing sketches of the lost plays from the meagre evidence of their existence ... the real richness, as usual, lies in the room for discovery of the period's abundance ... The mark of an excellent reference work is surely that the reader keeps reading after the initial enquiry has been resolved ... one puts this book down having gained not only the clarification sought, but also a determination to read another play entirely. Gwilym Jones, Around the Globe [T]he series promises to be an exhaustive go-to resource for scholars in any textual or literary field that engages with a range of early modern British cultural phenomena. Natalie C.J. Aldred, SHARP News
.. .a remarkable achievement...ground-breaking. Wiggins is to be congratulated for the untiring spirit of enquiry which has sustained him since the beginning of this century and will see him through to the completion of his vast enterprise. All students of English Renaissance drama owe him an incalculable debt. His Catalogue, I predict, will be one of the first volumes one reaches for, and one of the last to be put back on the shelf. --The Spenser Review
