"Renata K Miller's deeply researched and original book reveals the overlooked centrality of the Victorian actress to representations of women's rebellion in novelists from Dickens to James. In revelatory chapters on George Eliot's depiction of actresses in her fiction and poetry, and the actress as suffrage activist, muse, and feminist inspiration, she rewrites the literary history of the Victorian era.-- ""Elaine Showalter, Princeton University"""
