Reviews
admirable [and] innovative ... Maus is never reductive. Her grasp of the legal intricacies is complete. This is a book that knows the difference between dominium and seisin, between escheat and forfeiture ... groundbreaking. * John Kerrigan, London Review of Books *
Maus's taut, original readings of the plays certainly belie Parvini's claim that historicism is boring. * Julia Reinhard Lupton, SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 *
This remarkable book, based on her Oxford Wells Shakespeare Lectures, is a splendid adjunct to Maus's classic Inwardness and Theater in the English Renaissance. * James P. Bednarz, Little Reviews a *
Recommended. * P. Kujoory, CHOICE *
