At last a book on costume that truly answers the questions practitioners and scholars ask themselves on a daily basis. Monks and Maclaurin combine their intellectual and practical skills in a book which must surely rank as the most significant book on theatrical costume this decade. - Scott Anderson, Queen Margaret University, UK An important text to engage students in theoretical debate. - Anne Curry, Nottingham Trent University, UK
