It is rare to catch oneself describing a scholarly monograph as a page-turner, rarer still to be able to report that one laughed out loud while reading it, but I did both with Death by Drama. - Richard Green, Medieval Review; Jody Enders has written that rare book that is both deeply learned and intellectually entertaining. By asking astute questions of several relatively obscure texts, she gets to the heart of what makes late medieval drama so captivating. I can't remember the last time I've learned so much while having so much fun! - Richard K. Emmerson, executive director of the Medieval Academy of America and editor of Speculum
