- This volume arises principally from the Lost Plays Database, a project on which the book’s three general editors have been collaborating since 2009. In 2013 McInnis and Steggle organized a seminar on lost plays at the Shakespeare Association of America, which formed the basis for their first edited volume Lost Plays in Shakespeare’s England (2014). Both the SAA and the publishers were keen to repeat their involvement, and the nucleus of the current book is a set of papers written for a 2017 SAA seminar organized by McInnis and Steggle. The three co-editors selected the most promising papers; commissioned extra papers from leading figures; and closely shepherded the contributions with a view to making a coherent volume which pushes the field forwards rather than being just a collection of essays. It fits into the editors’ continuing ambitions to develop the Lost Plays Database, now recognized as a significant scholarly resource in early modern drama studies. Steggle’s direct contribution to this volume consists of the Introduction, co-written between the three editors over several drafts (7,300 words); and one sole-authored chapter (6,800 words). However, all three editors were heavily involved in the volume at all stages.
