Reviews

A well-researched book, which draws on some interesting and lesser-known plays, such as those by neglected female playwrights. -Times Literary Supplement Lisa Freeman's excellent cultural analysis ... demonstrates that character is a contested site in England's attempt to negotiate a changing sociology of class, gender, and nation even as it retained fundamental forms of patriarchy... This is perhaps the most important new book on eighteenth-century theater. -Albion
