Review:

'John Russell Brown almost single-handedly created the discipline of Shakespeare performance studies, as well as being directly involved in production during an important period. This will be a very useful book for students of Shakespeare performance and criticism, as well as the history of that discipline.' - James Loehlin, Associate Professor of English, University of Texas at Austin, USA
