Reviews

'... learned, often-compelling study of emulation in early modern English tragedy ...' Renaissance Quarterly 'For the reader interested in rhetorical scholarship, Dickson's book may be invaluable for the extensive bibliography represented in his footnotes: he provides multiple citations for further reading on almost every major point ... scholars well-versed in emulative theory will find an engrossing and complex treatment of rhetorical patterns in four case study plays.' Early Theatre
