Recensione:

"The book illuminates, with commendable scope and ambition, the wider cultural, political and philosophical dimensions of Naturalist theatre, and the range of theatre practices implicated in its systems of representation. An excellent one-stop course companion to the subject." – Chris Megson, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

'Pickering and Thompson have crafted a rich and supremely organized text. Exploring the history of naturalist theatre in an array of contexts—from Paris to Moscow to London and beyond—they reveal the complex landscape of a powerful cultural movement. Students will be both engaged and challenged by this creative and critical approach to the study of theatre history.' - Margaret Araneo-Reddy, Brooklyn College, City University of New York, USA
