Reviews

An achievement... This book should be given pride of place on every feminist bookshelf. -Theatre Journal Bloom's interest in voice in the theater is grounded in early modern ideas about the human body and the mechanics of vocal production. The range of plays on which she draws lets her combine new readings of canonical works with fresh attention to less well known texts. Voice in Motion is a book of interdisciplinary reach, solid scholarship, and imaginative resonance. -Bruce Smith, University of Southern California A valuable addition to recent work on the history of the senses and a significant contribution to early modern gender studies. Giving voice to women, Bloom convincingly argues, requires examining the cultrually-specific meanings of voice itself. -Renaissance Quarterly Meticulously researched and carefully argued. -H-Net Reviews
