Appendix Nineteenth-Century British Women Playwrights: A Checklist This Checklist is drawn from Allardyce Nicoll, ‘Handlist of Plays,’ A History of English Drama, 1660–1900, Vol. IV, Early Nineteenth Century Drama, 1800–1850, and Vol. V, Late Nineteenth Century Drama, 1850–1900 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1970), James Ellis and Joseph Donohue, English Drama of the Nineteenth Century, An Index and Finding Guide (New Canaan: Readex Books, 1985), Index to the Pettingell Collection (Harvester Microform), and the catalogues of the British Library (on-line OPAC and Manuscripts catalogues, and the Lord Chamberlain’s Collection of Plays card index).
