Reviews

'This book was a pleasure to read. The writing is clear and accessible; the voice is engaging, with sections of lovely phrasing and surprising humour.' The Review of English Studies 'Given Black's clear and accessible handling of theory, and the ways in which she embeds her argument in the critical history of each play she addresses, I look forward to assigning her work to my graduate students. Overall, Daisy Black's Play Time has much to offer scholars of early English drama and of literature and culture more broadly.' Studies in the Age of Chaucer -- .
