Reviews
'This is a brilliant, timely and provocative work of criticism, and a delight to read. Pascale Aebischer is leading the conversation in this field, and she continues to blaze a trail for the rest of us. This book is exemplary performance scholarship: rigorously argued and theoretically-informed, yet written with such a readable style and attention to detail that the performances described really come alive in the mind of the reader.' Stephen Purcell, University of Warwick
'... this book presents an exciting frame that could be applied to many others.' William N. West, SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900
