Pressezitat
"William D. Brewer's Staging Romantic Cha-meleons and Imposters proposes a broad definition of theatricality that moves from the stage to the page and from the world of fiction to real-life imposters. ... This book will interest not only scholars of the period's drama but also students of, say, Keatsian poetics or Byronic mobility."
