In doing so, she uncovers layer upon layer of cultural significance, demonstrating how producers, actors, and audiences helped to create America’s emerging sense of nationhood and national identity."" — Cary M. Mazer, author of Double Shakespeares: Emotional-Realist Acting and Contemporary Performance Theatres of Value takes an interdisciplinary approach that enriches historical analysis and helps readers understand familiar Shakespeare archives in new ways. Rosvally's work is conceptually nuanced yet highly readable—her engaging storytelling unfolds against a theoretical backdrop knit from theatre history, social and economic theory, performance studies, cultural studies, and rhetorical history.” — Elisabeth H.
