' ... Altogether up-to-date, his book offers a unique entry to significant issues in Spanish theatre history, many of which transcend the period his studies and remain current today.' (Bulletin of Spanish Studies 2003) '... This is a fascinating and timely work and clearly demonstrates the depth of artistic strength that sustained the theatre through the many developments of the time.' (British Bulletin of Publications on Latin American, the Caribbean, Portugal and Spain.) An elegant volume. As the first comparative study of its kind, admirable in its attempt at objectivity, it should give rise to debate as well as future research projects.
