Reviews

In sum, I recommend this volume ... For comparison, readers should consult more recent embodied cognitive scholarship, especially from scholars of early modern Hispanic literatures. * Catherine Connor, Bulletin of the Comediantes * Imagining Spectatorship amounts to an innovative contribution to the scholarship on medieval and early modern theatrics. McGavin's and Walker's use of cognitive science within a broader framework of cultural, historical, and spatial theoretical methodologies allows us to gain further insight into a particular historical experience that has largely been inaccessible up until now. * Brendan Walsh, Parergon *
