Book announcement: Violence Against Women in Early Modern Performance

[Ric Knowles]

Hi all,

First, congratulations Kim. It's a great achievement.

Second, everyone: I've read the book and it is  exttraordinary. All libraries should have it, as should anyone intereste in the Early Modern period, in issues around the representation of violence against women, in feminism--in theatrical representation generally. And it's not just about the early modern period: Kim takes on contemporary performance brilliantly. (And for those who might be concerned, it has pretty much nothing to do with interspecies performance!)

I urge you all to help make sure this terrific book circulates widely.

Cheers,

Ric

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce the arrival of my new book, _Violence Against  
Women in Early Modern Performance: Invisible Acts_, which was  
published last week by Palgrave. I'm attaching the promotional flyer  
hereto; I'd be grateful if you could forward it to your area  
librarians, and to any colleagues who might be interested.

Very best wishes!
Kim
