<note type="bio">Lisa Wilson is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of
English and Communication at SUNY Potsdam, where she has taught since 2005. Her
areas of interest include transatlantic Romantic and Victorian era literature,
particularly women’s writing and popular forms such as the Gothic novel and the
ballad revival. She is also interested in book history and bibliographical
studies, particularly in the study of authorship in the long nineteenth century
(1780-1900). She has published in European Romantic Review, Romanticism on the
Net (now RaVon), Romantic Circles, Romantic Textualities, and elsewhere. She is
currently working on a monograph on Romantic-period authorship and literary
celebrity. Her work on Digital Mitford thus far includes editing and coding
Mitford’s lengthy “Introduction” to her collected Dramatic Works (1854), a
critical memoir that recounts the author’s influences and experiences at Covent
Garden and Drury Lane in the 1820s and 30s. It also includes researching
Mitford’s publication history for the site’s working bibliography, particularly
tracking the migration of Mitford’s stories from their first publication to
their later reappearances in collections and periodicals. She and her team of
undergraduate student researchers are also working on transcribing, coding, and
researching Mitford’s letters from the early 1820s as found in the John Rylands
Library at the University of Manchester. <p/>

The case is very different now; she is still a poker--but a poker of whom every one is afraid. It must be confessed that this silent observation from such an observer is rather formidable. Most writers are good-humoured chatterers--neither very wise nor very witty:--but nine times out of ten (at least in the few that I have known) unaffected and pleasant, and quite removing by their conversation any awe that may have been excited by their works.

and destroyed by fire on 20 Sept. 1808. The second theater, designed by
Robert Smirke, opened on 18 Sept. 1809, managed by <persName ref="#Kemble_JP">John Phillip Kemble</persName>. Because of rent
increases by the Duke of Bedford, the landowner, J.P. Kemble increased
ticket prices. This led to the "old price (or O.P.) riots" and the eventual
lowering of ticket prices, although the proprietors proved they would lose
money at those prices. The second theater was destroyed by fire on 5 March
1856. The third theater, designed by Edward Middleton Barry, opened in 1858
and remains the nucleus of today's theater. The theater became the Royal
Opera House in 1892 and the building was renovated and expaneded in the
1980s and 1990s.</p>
