""A History of English Dramatic Literature to the Death of Queen Anne"" is a comprehensive study of English theatre from its earliest origins up until the end of the reign of Queen Anne in the early 18th century. Written by Adolphus William Ward, a prominent literary historian of the Victorian era, this volume provides a detailed overview of the development of English drama, including the works of Shakespeare, Jonson, and other notable playwrights. Ward's analysis covers the political, social, and cultural contexts that shaped the evolution of English theatre, and he pays particular attention to the influence of the Restoration period on the development of the genre.
