Book Synopsis
Eighteenth-century theatre critics reserved their highest praise for the transitions of a play, recognising its most striking passages as moments of larger sequential transformation. Through a recovery of this perspective, scholars of theatre and literary culture gain renewed understanding of performance, the passions, and criticism in the 1700s.
