Reviews

Mannheimer is a brilliant close reader, and makes an original and substantial contribution to eighteenth-century literary studies. Her interpretive framework grows organically out of the drama itself, and the critical and historical contexts that she gracefully weaves together make this a most engaging and beautifully written book. - Marcie Frank, Concordia University, author of The Novel Stage: Narrative Form from the Restoration to Jane Austen
