Reviews
The book's playfulness makes it an often enjoyable read. Without wishing to spoil the opening of chapter 4 for future readers, I will say that in a field somewhat saturated with reappropriations of Greenblatt's desire to speak with the dead, this particular chapter opening is by far the one that has made me laugh the most. * Kit Heyam, Queen Mary, University of London, Early Theatre * It is exemplary in bringing together scholarship from many different disciplines, and using it to push the boundaries of what we think of as dress history. His challenge of queerphobic and sex-negative history-making brings a powerful message to re-examine our personal biases and imagine a better and more diverse past, and then bring that thinking to the present and future. * Luise Kocaurek, Journal of Dress History * For those teaching or researching themes of construction of the self, embodiment, gender identity, and theatricality, there will be much to ponder after reading this thoughtful and surprising study. * John S. Garrison, Grinnell College *
