Reviews

The volume offers a very valiant and successful attempt to solve perhaps the biggest problem facing people who write about early modern drama today: now we know so much how do we distil it? There is not a weak essay to be seen. The book will prove an invaluable resource. * Lisa Hopkins, Sheffield Hallam University, UK *
