"The Rover" Parts I and II are separate plays. Part II is a sequel.

In transcriptions of original documents, letters printed as superscripts are shown in braces { }. Descriptions of illustrations are given in parentheses ( ).

In the original book, all Notes were printed in a block at the end of the volume. For this e text they have been divided among their respective plays, retaining the distinction between "Notes on the Text" and "Notes: Critical and Explanatory". Errors and anomalies are similarly listed at the end of the section in which they are found: the General Introduction and each of the four plays. Relevant Transcriber's Notes are repeated at the beginning of each section.

Students should note that the editorial material (1915) is sometimes significantly at variance with current (2007) Behn scholarship.]
