List of Plays in Cumberland's British Theatre

Cumberland's British Theatre was a set of playbooks produced in London between 1823 and 1861(?). Plays ranged from early modern playwrights (nearly all of Shakespeare's plays are included) to contemporary authors. Playbooks were primarily sold individually (and numbered in the order in which they were produced), but could also be purchased in volumes of 7-10 plays. George Daniel was the editor for the series. There were 398 plays produced, ending up in 48 volumes.

The list following was primarily taken from the lists included in the wrappers on the individually-sold editions. This list is incomplete.
