The Team
Since 1995 a team of university scholars have been working in a project which aims at providing the means for a better knowledge of the plays —particularly the comedies— of the Restoration period. The team started with professors Juan A. Prieto-Pablos, Rafael Portillo, Maria José Mora and Manuel J. Gómez-Lara, all in the Department of English Literature at the University of Seville (Spain). In later years other researchers have joined in, both from Seville and other Spanish Universities (Cádiz, Vigo).
The team also acknowledges the support provided by Dr. Tim Keenan, from Liverpool-Hope University, as Honorary Researcher since 2016.
