Reviews

""English Renaissance scholars will find Andrew Griffin’s book an agreeable re-visioning of some familiar plays, while it brings attention to some neglected plays. It’s also an intriguing approach to late Elizabethan and Jacobean drama."" - Margaret Rose Jaster, Pennsylvania State University at Harrisburg (Renaissance and Reformation / Renaissance et Réforme) ""Andrew Griffin’s deeply learned and painstakingly written book argues that early modern drama participates in or functions as a form of early modern historiography, one in which the competing forms of memorializing human lives and deaths common to this transitional period of history writing ‘abrupt’ the dramatic narration."" - Yvonne Bruce (Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Teaching)


English Renaissance scholars will find Andrew Griffin's book an agreeable re-visioning of some familiar plays, while it brings attention to some neglected plays. It's also an intriguing approach to late Elizabethan and Jacobean drama. -- Margaret Rose Jaster, Pennsylvania State University at Harrisburg * <em>Renaissance and Reformation / Renaissance et Reforme</em> *
