James Sheridan Knowles is documented in Fuller’s books and manuscripts (1820–1846). One work is named, most often in On John Vandenhoff's Acting, and the most intensive engagement recorded is “analyzed”.
Reprints, Memoirs passages, and repeat notes within a single manuscript are shown but never counted twice. Evidence for this author is selective, not exhaustive. Methodology →

“it is certainly less painful, on the whole, to see a play of Knowles's than one of Shakspeare's [...] Virginius, the Hunchback, Metamora, are plays quite good enough for the stage at present”
The same sentence also names The Hunchback. Counted as one engagement.
