Reviews

Advance praise: 'Emma Depledge's work displays a masterful synthesis of bibliographic expertise, dramatic close reading, theatre history, and cultural analysis. I find this a field-reshaping book, beautifully executed in all these various aspects. I plan to draw on its insights and envision assigning it in graduate and advanced undergraduate classes.' Lauren Shohet, Villanova University, Pennsylvania
