Excerpt from The Court and the London Theatres During the Reign of Elizabeth: A Dissertation, Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Department or English)
To the earlier published works of Professor Feuillerat and Mr. W. J. Lawrence, my indebtedness is large, as the footnotes below reveal. I wish, too, to acknowledge my indebtedness to my friend G. F. Reynolds, not only for the help which his articles have af forded me, but also for suggestions privately made. It is a pleasure to express here my thanks to Professors C. A. Baskervill, A. H. Tolman, and R. M. Lovett, who kindly read my dissertation when it was in manuscript. To Professor Carpenter I am obliged for suggesting to me the present study and advising that I pursue it at a time when I would have turned to something else. And finally, to Professor J. M. Manly I am especially indebted for his criticism and encouragement, and for the privilege of examining, before they were made accessible in Murray's English Dramatic Companies, a large body of the extant records of theatrical performances in the provinces.
