Trade ReviewSanchez’s clear and cogent book is a remarkably concise but thorough introduction to the field. It will also be indispensable to experts, who will find much of value in her perceptive analysis. * Stephen Guy-Bray, University of British Columbia, Canada *
This book is beautifully written and a pleasure to read. Although, like other books in the Arden Shakespeare and Theory series, it is addressed to students and nonspecialists, it also offers a tremendous service to specialized scholars by presenting a synthesized and compelling picture of the field of early modern queer theory, honoring its diversity and heterogeneity while also showing its coherence. * Theatre Journal *
