Renaissance Revivals examines patterns in the London revivals of two English Renaissance theatre genres over the past four centuries. Griswold's focus on revenge tragedies and city comedies illuminates the ongoing interaction between society and its cultural products. No cultural object is ever created anew, she argues, but is instead constructed from existing cultural genres and conventions, the visions and professional needs of the artist, and the interests of an audience. Thus, every "new play" is in part a renaissance and every "revival" is in part an entirely new cultural object.

This is a book intended to bring together all the theatrical figures buried and/or memorialised in Westminster Abbey. Most of them are in Poets’ Corner and the South Transept, but there are others dotted elsewhere around the Abbey and particularly in the Cloisters where Aphra Behn, the playwright, and most of the actresses are congregated. A major feature of the book is the spectacular collection of illustrations in the form of photographs of the monuments from the Abbey archive and portraits kindly provided by the Garrick Club. The text incorporates brief descriptions of the characters interspersed with a variety of more or less relevant (some completely irrelevant, but entertaining) anecdotes.
