In particular I wish to thank the staff of the Theatersammlung of the Austrian National Library, Di- rector Oskar Pausch, his colleague Peter Nic, and Librarian Haris Baldic; of the theatre collection in the Stadtisches ReiC-Museum, Mannheim, Director Liselotte Homering and Librarian Jiirgen Hespe; and of the Theatermuseum, Schlofi Wahn, Cologne, Director Roswitha Flatz. [...] I argue that the word 'Nachspiel1 evoked in the eighteenth-century mind specific notions of what kind of work it was; indeed that the essential characteristics of the Nachspiel lay at the core of German-speaking the- atre in its day. [...] Appendix 2 is a list of 'Documented Performances of Extant Nachspiele,1 the sources for which are the many histories and repertoire lists cited in Chapter 2. Following the Bibliography are a bibliography of 'Secondary Works Cited,' an 'Index of Titles,1 and finally an 'Index of Names' to which the study refers. [...] With the growing number of literary journals from mid-century, and a conscious cultivation of the theatre scene, more critics and theorists addressed themselves to the nature of the various genres. [...] If anything it is the fault of the stage itself, the inability of dramatists and actors to pre- sent convincing works - that was the problem at the time.
