Pressezitat
"William D. Brewer's Staging Romantic Cha-meleons and Imposters proposes a broad definition of theatricality that moves from the stage to the page and from the world of fiction to real-life imposters. ... This book will interest not only scholars of the period's drama but also students of, say, Keatsian poetics or Byronic mobility." (Recent Studies in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 56 (4), Autumn, 2016) Kommentar zu "Staging Romantic Chameleons and Imposters"
