Reviews

"""This ambitious volume is written with great verve and stands to open many doors for future comedia study."" -- Shifra Armon, University of Florida * <em>Bulletin des Commandants</em>, 2019 * ""The book confirms the great potential of Golden Age drama as a source of case studies. The commercial stage was a locus where popular demand intersected with the sort of normative discourse generated by the cultural, religious, and political elites: as Kallendorf points out, the theater can be viewed as an ‘artificially constructed laboratory for the study of moral behaviour.’"" -- José María Pérez Fernández, Universidad de Granada * <em>Renaissance Quarterly</em>, Summer 2020 *"
