George Charles Moore Smith (1858-1940) was a renowned literary
scholar who graduated from St John's College, Cambridge, with a
first-class degree in the classics in 1881. In 1896 he was made
professor of English language and literature at Firth College,
Sheffield, and he played a key role in building up the social and
academic position of the institution after it became the University
of Sheffield in 1905. College Plays Performed in the University of
Cambridge (1923) includes a chronological table of the Latin plays
performed by scholars at the university in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. The study also contains Moore Smith's
48-page introduction along with an appendix of actor lists. The
introduction provides useful context to sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century literary and theatrical culture at the
University of Cambridge, discussing both the 'outlines of [the
plays] histories' and the 'manner of [their] production'.
