Her undergraduate courses motivated me to pursue a PhD degree, and later the course on literary edition organised by her and Dr. Manuel Gómez-Lara further stimulated my interest in editing, particularly, the texts of Thomas D’Urfey’s Don Quixote. Her profound knowledge on Restoration drama and experience with editing has added considerably to my work, and her advice and patience helped me to keep going even in difficult periods. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Manuel Gómez-Lara for his great courses on textual analysis and on history of theatre, for his support, and for making our long work sessions on stage directions as enjoyable as possible. I would like to thank Dr. J.A.G. Ardila for his help arranging my research visit to the University of Edinburgh, Dr. Timothy Keenan and his family for their kindness during my visit to Brisbane, and Dr. Deborah C. Payne for making my stay in Washington DC amazing and memorable. A great thank you goes to the faculty staff and librarians of the University of Edinburgh, the University of Glasgow, the University of Queensland, the Folger Shakespeare Library, Duke University Library, and the Library of Congress for their help and patience. I would also like to express my gratitude to Dr. Mary Malcolm Gaylord for her fascinating seminar ‘Cervantes and the Early Modern Historical Imagination’ organised by the Folger Institute in Fall 2015, to my seminar colleagues, and to Dr. Anita Sherman and the American University for sponsoring my participation in it. I cannot fail to mention Ana Luisa Martín Bejarano, for her great help with administrative procedures and paperwork, María Covadonga Lucio-Villegas Menéndez for her many years of assistance and helpful advice at the Humanities Library, and my former colleagues Nora Rodríguez Loro, María José Sánchez de Nieva Mazón, and Vicente 5 Chacón Carmona for their companion and coffee breaks. Likewise, I am grateful to Dr. Antonio Hermosa Andújar for his invaluable friendship, Dr. Leonor Molero Alcaraz and Dr. Antonio Villarrubia Medina for their kindness and encouragement, and Dr. Mª Isabel Román Gutiérrez for her postgraduate course on Cervantes. A warm thank you to my friends for their extraordinary patience and love, particularly to Esther, Xío, and Álvaro for the great moments we have spent together, and to María Elena Carpintero Torres-Quevedo for her help and loving care when I most needed it. I would like to sincerely thank my parents for their support, my brother José Miguel and Almudena for their constant encouragement and support of all kind, and my aunt Alma, for her incredible generosity and for having sparked my interest in theatre ever since I was very little. Their achievements and remarkable resilience, even in the darkest of times, have always been an enormous inspiration for me. Finally, I dedicate this dissertation and everything it carries with it, to my forever missed brother Francisco. 6 Abbreviations A) General abbreviations 1CHDQ D’Urfey, The Comical History of Don Quixote, Part 1 2CHDQ D’Urfey, The Comical History of Don Quixote, Part 2 3CHDQ D’Urfey, The Comical History of Don Quixote, Part 3 Cervantes, Don Quixote, Part 1 1DQ Numerical references are to book and chapter(s).

For the rest of the texts, the date given is that of publication. Quotations from plays are followed by reference to act, scene and line number(s) within brackets, separated by dots (e.g., 1.2.104). When there is no line numbering, the page number has been added instead (e.g., 5.1, p. 43). Prefaces, dedications, prologues and epilogues are cited only by page number. In the case of multi-volume works, the number of volume is placed before the reference to act, scene, and page or line number (e.g.
