Review
"the wealth of previously unknown and scattered factual information makes the book very useful to readers interested in theatre history, the construction of gender, and nineteenth-century culture."
–Victorian Review
"This important study, grounded in Marxist and feminist theory and the `New History' methodology of Lawrence Stone, discounts many of the findings of the only other recent books on the subject . . . for being too narrowly limited to successful West End performers and casually assembled data. Davis (Harvard) includes suburban and provincial theater and music hall performers, and explodes many a myth about actresses with substantial evidence ranging from census reports to court records . . . . Crucial reading for the serious theater historian, this book will also interest those concerned more generally with feminist and Victoriam subjects. --Choice."
