Dueling Grounds is a multi-faceted look at the musical Hamilton, which reminds us that even though we may know every lyric by heart, we can always look deeper into this era-defining musical, thanks to an array of provocative perspectives showcased in this book. * Howard Sherman, author of Another Day's Begun: Thornton Wilder's Our Town in the 21st Century * This impressive volume is a rewarding and approachable read: its essays encourage engagement with Hamilton as a liminal space whose borders intersect with historiography and history, economics, identity politics, composition, staging practices, and materiality. The dialogue between the chapters promotes an additional layer of liminality that enriches exploration of the contexts from which this musical arose, and into which it speaks, and contributes to the understanding of musical theatre as multi-dimensional communication. * Millie Taylor, Professor of Musical Theatre, University of Winchester *
