Reviews

Persecution, Plague, and Fire is a provocative and important book, one of the few - in some senses, the only - to engage both pro- and antitheatrical discourse in early modern England. MacKay's effort to track a kind of conceptual aporia in the early modern theater's understanding of its historical position, and indeed of its effective means, is developed in great detail and with significant interpretive flair and originality. It's a very powerful book. (W. B. Worthen, Barnard College, Columbia University)
