Praise for Katherine West Scheil's "The Taste of the Town: Shakespearian Comedy and the Early Eighteenth-Century Theater"

from "Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900," Vol. 44:2

Dympna Callaghan, Syracuse University, writes in a review entitled "Recent Studies in Tudor and Stuart Drama"(SEL 44:20) that Scheil "provides a valuable and scholarly history of theater adaptation, examining the way the comedies were altered and approprated in light of current trend and audience demand" (420), particularly the differences between eighteenth century and Restoration adaptations.
