'… pays particularly close attention to spatial discourse as a theatrical mode of expressing the historical pressures and exigencies shaping sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English patriarchal and patrilineal economies. … Dowd's study also reminds us that spatial discourse offers an underappreciated archive for rethinking the kinds of cultural work accomplished by the dynamics of early modern drama.' Mark Albert Johnston, Renaissance and Reformation 'The Dynamics of Inheritance on the Shakespearean Stage generates new kinds of questions while employing a sound and sophisticated form of both/and reasoning that Dowd proves the topic demands. … Dowd's feminist methodology is a welcome intervention into the arguably patrilineal terrain of Jonson studies. Dowd's research and the arguments she advances about the drama unlock the once open-and-shut case of primogeniture.' Ann C. Christensen, Modern Philology
