Biographia Dramatica Volume 2, written by David Erskine Baker in 1812, is a comprehensive guide to the history of the British theatre.

The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of theatre, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of British theatre in the early 19th century.In Three Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
