Reviews

the most substantial and comprehensive volume on the Cardenio affair to appear this year, or ever. Julia Reinhard Lupton, SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 One of the valuable features of the collection is that conflicting views are represented, and moreover, the contributors seem to have read one another's essays, so there is a productive dialogue going on ... this collection marks a major step forward in the discussion, with an impressive variety of viewpoints and a good mixture of imaginative and carefully empirical scholarship. Hugh Craig, Comparative Drama
