Gillen's book digs deeply into the drama of the period, far beyond Shakespeare (despite its title), pursuing a host of problems currently at the forefront of scholarship: the methodology of the new economic criticism, how playwrights thought about the project of the commercial theater itself, and how early capitalism provoked new models of performative subjectivity, among other problems. -- Henry S. Turner, Recent Studies in Tudor and Stuart Drama 'SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, ' Volume 58, Number 2, spring 2018, pp. 473-537
