Rival queens : actresses, performance, and the eighteenth-century British theater /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

Historians of British theater have often noted that the eighteenth century was an age not of the author but of the actor. In Rival Queens, Felicity Nussbaum argues that the period might more accurately be seen as the age of women in the theater, and more particularly as the age of the actress.
