Excerpt from The Struggle for a Free Stage in London
Again, to single out a few prominent topics at random, the revolts of the actors from the pat ent theatres in 1733 and 1743 have been placed in the light of new evidence; the relation of Henry Fielding to the other causes which brought about the Licensing Act of 1737 has been given a coherent place in the political and theatrical events of the eighteenth century; the story of John Palmer's Royalty Theatre has been given alogical connection in the struggle for sfree stage in London; the ao-called O. P. Riots of 1809 have been examined with a view to their real meaning in the struggle; the development of that dramatic hybrid, known as burletta, has been traced from its innocent beginning to its final importance as a monopoly breaker.
