'In pondering the performativity of language and literature, no surer and more capable guide can be found than Angela Esterhammer.' Frederick Burwick, The BARS Review
'In pondering the performativity of language and literature, no surer and more capable guide can be found than Angela Esterhammer.' Frederick Burwick, The BARS Review 'Esterhammer's ability to make the history feel modern throughout will appeal to scholars of theater, literature, and history.' J. Rodzvilla, Choice 'The richness of ... [this book's] collection-point to the exciting possibilities materialist reading continues to offer scholars of British Romanticism.' Kristin Flieger Samuelian, European Romantic Review 'Angela Esterhammer's latest monograph presents a vividly detailed, panoramic view of a decade that was long disregarded as a disappointing lull between the heights of Romanticism and Victoria's ascension ... The study's greatest contribution to literary studies may be to foster many such additional readings with its fresh understanding of the 1820s as an exuberant era of risk-taking experimentation in performance and print. Reading it is an immersive experience that provides a clear and convincing take on a fascinating decade.' Sarah Zimmerman, The Wordsworth Circle
