Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"A wealth of historical detail about the masquerade in 18th-century life and literature and a stimulating interpretation of what its prominence in that period reveals about the nature of identity and narrative. . . . An important contribution to literary criticism and to the history of leisure, this book will confirm Castle's place among the major influences on the most exciting current scholarship in 18th century literature and gender studies."—Philological Quarterly
