'Each of the pieces has an introduction which discusses sources, composition, and publication, together with a thorough stage history. The explanatory notes are substantial, and there is a full index. All this richly detailed information is compactly presented and will be invaluable to students of Farquhar and his theatre ... a substantial achievement for which one is grateful.'
