Rezensionen

"Vidler's encounter with theory, and her insight into the «dislocation» of inanimate objects on stage in representative ... will likely stimulate further thought amongst scholars and students, and perhaps even interest directors and other theatre practitioners involved in staging -or «reconstructing»- these and other early modern plays for postmodern audiences." (Susan L. Fischer, Anuario Lope de Vega, revistes.uab.cat, Vol. 24, 2018)

"Laura L. Vidler's ... draws so productively on the state of knowledge about early modern English original practices ... . would be a salutary exercise for anyone interested in either original or contemporary performance practices not only in Spain but also in England. ... Early modern theater scholars who have not already worked out the radical potential of our field would do well to consult Vidler's lucid and persuasive vindication. ... is a manifesto for the field as a whole." (Kathryn Prince, Shakespeare Bulletin, Vol. 33, Winter, 2015)
