As soon as it struck a cord on readers, Don Quixote was staged by several playwrights. These theatrical adaptations flourished in several countries and across the centuries. Thus far, only seven adaptations by English playwrights were known —in addition to another one by Harriet Stewart discovered earlier this year. This paper presents the hitherto unknown Quixote plays by Fitzball (1834), Wills (1895) and Tenniel (1895?); it also sheds new light on the controversial identity of the author of Alonzo Quixano (1895), and on Harriet Stewart. Not only does this paper offer a more accurate picture of the reception of Cervantes in England, but it also highlights the immense devotion of the English for Don Quixote.
