Reviews

'... this volume is a valuable new resource for those studying the ubiquitous gendered trope of teaching on the early modern stage, in all sorts of texts on education and gender ideology, and in the lived experiences of Englishmen and Englishwomen.' Renaissance Quarterly '... this collection is enjoyable and informative...' Early Theatre 'These individual essays make valuable contributions to early modern scholarship. Indeed, Performing Pedagogy is at its best when contributors ... use archival work to support their theses and when discussions of pedagogy ... redefine how we understand canonical characters and texts. Readers will be convinced by Moncrief and McPherson's proposal that the early modern stage is an important and severely under-discussed pedagogical site, especially in the teaching (and sometimes subverting) of gender roles.' Renaissance Studies
