Recensione

'In addressing the appearance of 'other languages' in early English drama Janette Dillon produces a study of considerable range and depth ... author's insistence on focusing on language's political and dramatic force has helped to make this a scholarly and readable book which not only informs us in historical and literary terms about its period, but also equips us to 'hear' language as staged event.' New Theatre Quarterly
