    You can find Restoration drama texts in the Oxford Text Archive, for example
    with catalogue numbers), by Aphra Behn (1327, 2006), John Gay (1706), Thomas
    Shadwell (1294), James Shirley (0601), plus a corpus of prologues and
    epilogues of the Restoration (1325).

    If you use the author name or the numbers in the simple search box at
    http:/ota.ahds.ac.uk/ you will find these texts.

    You might also want to take a look at Voice of the Shuttle, which
    categorises links to free e-texts by period and genre.
