Review:
[This book] serves a dual purpose. It is the first comprehensive discussion of Vondel's drama in English, and it offers a sampling of both more traditional and novel approaches. [...] It brings Vondel's large theatrical output to the attention of Anglophone readers, but does much more than that: by letting the light of theory shine on these plays, the book demonstrates just how rich, fresh, and valuable a writer Vondel remains. Theo Hermans, University College London. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 66, No. 1 (Spring 2013), pp. 345-347.
