'Women's Romantic Theatre and Drama assembles the best scholars from Italy, North America, and the United Kingdom into a single volume, and in many ways represents the culmination of three years of collective work led by Lilla Crisafulli and Keir Elam. Here is exhaustive coverage of romantic women writers' contribution to the period's theater and drama, from treatments of major writers like Elizabeth Inchbald and Joanna Baillie to essays on Scottish women's writing, translation, censorship, religion and science, and dramatic theory. Romantic theater is evidently alive and well - thanks to time well spent in Italy.' Michael Gamer, University of Pennsylvania, USA 'Women's Romantic Theatre and Drama is important not only because it directs the critical spotlight to stages and auditoriums bustling with activity, but also lifts the curtain on important 'backstage areas' such as the salon and literary closet, where women could explore new forms of agency, both individual and collective.' BARS Bulletin
