Recenzii
'Looking at neglected plays but raising issues that bear on our reading of Marlowe and Shakespeare too, this timely and topical book explores the representation of aliens and strangers in sixteenth-century drama and offers an elegant and subtle account of the developing notions of Englishness they chart.' Lisa Hopkins, Sheffield Hallam University
'… [Kermode's] book provides a coherent and insightful framework for reading the tensions and conflicts represented in a wide range of sixteenth-century English drama.' Mary Floyd-Wilson, Renaissance Quarterly
'… Aliens and Englishness in Elizabethan Drama, packs a scant 154 pages of text, 28 pages of informative end notes, and a generous 13 page bibliography with brilliant insights into early stirrings of the British Empire as reflected in two continuous phases of Elizabethan plays and their London audiences during the second half of the sixteenth century.' Frederick S. Lapisardi, PhD, Professor Emeritus, California University of Pennsylvania
'Aliens and Englishness in Elizabethan Drama offers an engaging journey into mid- to late-sixteenth century drama. … I recommend [it] to those who teach early modern English theatre as well as those more interested generally in issues of identity as reflected in drama.' William F. Hodapp, Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Teaching
