’Mustering plenty of evidence to make his case, Steggle is careful not to take it all at face value... There is more critical work to be done on this intriguing topic, on the basis of this thoughtful, useful book.’ Times Literary Supplement ’One of the remarkable features of this book is the breadth of Steggle’s research... In assiduously tracing the impact of laughing and weeping in theaters, Steggle opens up a large and fascinating topic, and shows its importance for our understanding of early performance and audiences.’ Renaissance Quarterly
