Recenzje

This capacious, thoughtful work allows readers to conceive of the possibilities of new scholarship in the history of early modern English playbooks. Because Bourne regards the members of the early English book trade with grace, she releases them from the burden of habitual faultiness. She initiates a truly fantastic way of approaching playbooks that prioritizes 'readerly access to these forms of theatricality rather than foreclosing the chance to experience their effects'.
