George L. Anderson

"Charles Gildon's A New Rehearsal, or Bays the Younger."

Doctoral Dissertation. University of Pennsylvania, 1953.

This University of Pennsylvania doctoral dissertion provides a critical edition of Gildon's A New Rehearsal, or Bays the Younger, a work which attacks the plays of Nicholas Rowe and Alexander Pope's The Rape of the Lock. Beyond this, though, Anderson's dissertation engages deeply with Gildon's relationship to the political and critical debates of his day.
