Through the prism of Voltaire's letters on the Quakers (1733) and John Boyle's riposte in his preface to Father Brumoy's The Greek Theatre (1759), some Shakespeare criticism of the period is shown to have drawn on issues of religious controversy, in this case, Methodist enthusiasm, to formulate some of the principal tenets of fledgling bardolatry. Further, as one strand within ‘patriot enthusiasm’, by instituting a national congregation of admirers, the surrogate faith of bardolatry achieved in part the comprehension ruled out by the Toleration Act (1689), while its irrationality sheltered the supernatural on its eviction from rationalized religion.

In November 1744, a series of riots broke out at Drury Lane theatre, forcing its proprietor, Charles Fleetwood, to sell his majority share of the theatrical patent. Theatre scholarship has long held that the riots were caused by Fleetwood's attempt to raise admission prices for old pantomimes, yet also, somewhat contradictorily, has maintained that admission prices definitively increased at London's patent theatres in the period around 1740. This article shows both points to be mistaken: prices did not rise in the period, and Fleetwood was forced out due to a range of grievances that had developed over the preceding decade. By revealing how pricing practices, Fleetwood's tenure, and the riots developed, this article provides new insights on a crucial period in London's theatre history (the 1730s–40s) and on the wider social and economic dynamics of Georgian theatregoing.

The establishment of a Royal Naval Dockyard in Ferrol (Spain) favoured engagement in international activities and hence the development of useful connections with other European cities and towns. This article examines trade links between Scotland and Spain through the port of Ferrol during the 1770s, with particular emphasis on the British press and on Scottish customs accounts. Both data sources were used to address three research questions. First, what were the policies and mechanisms of this trade? Second, how important was this trade in terms of the industrial needs of Spain? Third, did this trade have any effect on economic development? The findings provide insight into Scottish industrial history and the relationship between the economy and political spheres during periods of war. They also reveal historical narratives that shed light on the supply of weaponry to Ferrol and the customs administration related to this trade.
