Reviews

A timely and long-overdue reassessment of Killigrew as dramatist and theatre practitioner, this study takes full advantage of recent scholarship on the period, literary, social, historical, and theatrical. The essays situate Killigrew in the context of Charles II's court both in exile and after its return to power. What impresses is how the psychological and emotional consequences of existing in exile are sensitively examined in relation to their impact on Killigrew's creativity.'- Richard Allen Cave, General Editor of Richard Brome Online

What impresses is how the psychological and emotional consequences of existing in exile are sensitively examined in relation to their impact on Killigrew's creativity.' Richard Allen Cave, General Editor of Richard Brome Online 'Major and his fellow authors revitalise the discussion on Killigrew, closing ... the door on Killigrew's (negative) legacy and opening the door for more exciting research into the more important topic of his influences on Restoration theatre.' Parergon '[An] impressive volume with ... fascinatingly thick descriptions of many worlds.' Review of English Studies 'In reading this fascinating and diverse collection one is forced to reconsider received opinion of Killigrew's work and character.' SHARP News 'This fine collection of essays on Thomas Killigrew is long overdue. ... highly recommended for anyone interested in the theatrical culture of the 1630s and the first two decades of the Restoration.' Renaissance Quarterly
