This is as breath-taking as to say that performances at the Globe Theater of Elizabethan England were a function of a secret mystical order penetrating the highest levels of government. Yet in this author's hands the exposition proceeds at a calm, comfortable pace, rigorously supported and comfortably thorough. - Victoria Holbrook, author of The Unreadable Shores of Love: Turkish Modernity and Mystic Romance.
