Reviews

[This book] serves a dual purpose. It is the first comprehensive discussion of Vondel's drama in English, and it offers a sampling of both more traditional and novel approaches. [...] It brings Vondel's large theatrical output to the attention of Anglophone readers, but does much more than that: by letting the light of theory shine on these plays, the book demonstrates just how rich, fresh, and valuable a writer Vondel remains. Theo Hermans, University College London. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 66, No. 1 (Spring 2013), pp. 345-347.

Theo Hermans, University College London. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 66, No. 1 (Spring 2013), pp. 345-347. this volume manages to present Vondel's dramatic oeuvre in all its breadth for an international audience. It is a work of reference on the one hand and a research laboratory and forum for debate on the other. To its credit, this volume features the whole spectrum of past and present research on Vondel's plays and integrates representatives of different methodological and theoretical provenance.
