Reviews

'A dazzling tour de force; Sudipto Chatterjee's book offers a richly delineated account of theatrical performances and cross-cultural/colonial encounters on the 19th-Century Calcutta Stage. Enriched by the perspectives of colonial history and postcolonial theory, this book should be of great interest to scholars in the fields of performance studies, cultural studies, ethnography, and literature.' Jyotsna G. Singh, Michigan State University
