Choice Review
For this addition to the "Blackwell Companions to Literature and Culture" series, Owen (Univ. of Sheffield, UK, and author of Restoration Theatre and Crisis, CH, Jul'97) collected 25 useful essays by well-qualified authors. Arranged in three groups by topic--context, kinds, dramatists--the essays cover an extensive variety and range of subtopics: the stage, actresses, theory and criticism, politics, class. The essays are clearly written and concise; they present their topics with attention to a reader who needs informed guidance, exactly the qualities to be expected in a companion. The book will serve its audience very well, and those needing further guidance will profit from the list of further reading at the end of each essay. Highly recommended for academic libraries, the volume will be especially helpful to upper-division undergraduate and graduate students. J. Wilkinson emeritus, Youngstown State University
