Thorough and persuasive examination of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century theatre ... One of the strengths of this study is its comprehensiveness ... The work offers a panoramic view of the German stage, shedding light on some lesser-known areas. In this respect it makes an important contribution to the early modern syllabus at a time when the choice of texts studied by undergraduates is often limited by the scarcity of appropriate secondary literature. Equally, it offers a lucid and stimulating argument with which specialists can profitably engage. Modern Language Review Colvin's study is an important contribution to the criticism of early German drama and opera since it unveils the rhetorical strategies bolstering the male Christian ideal on stage and in the early modern theatrum mundi. Colloquia Germanica Colvin's book is perhaps the most critically sophisticated monograph to appear in the field of early modern German literature. Theatre Research International
