Recenzii
“The materials of memory provide this book’s original and ambitious structural scaffolding. … Engel’s sense of wonder at the materials of memory is everywhere apparent, and her eloquent appreciation of their research potential is one of the abiding joys of this book.” (Leslie Ritchie, ABO, Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, Vol. 11 (1), 2021)
“This book itself models a practice of scholarship, one that pulls together stories of creative women’s lives as they unfold to the scholar in moments of archival discovery, spectatorial surprise, and uncanny reiteration of beaten paths. On that score, Women, Performance and the Material of Memory offers rich reading.” (Andrea Zemgulys, Victorian Studies, Vol. 62 (3), 2020)

Caracteristici
Engages strategies for considering archival materials through the lens of performance Argues that the performance of archival research is related to the experience of tourism, where an individual immerses herself in a foreign environment, relating to and analyzing visual and sensory materials through embodiment and enactment Proposes interdisciplinary connections between the study of literature, theatre, theatre history, art history, performance, gender, and material culture from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries
