Reviews
Full of fascinating nuggets of information ... Edith Craig and the Theatres of Art presents a collage of Craig's achievements, celebrating her maverick career. * Times Higher Education *
Cockin does a fine job here of recuperating this neglected yet important figure by bringing such intellectual and artistic intersections to light. * Times Literary Supplement *
The book offers much by way of update ... useful to students and scholars alike. * New Theatre Quarterly *
