Reviews for Our Island Home Reader (Elementary Reader Series)

Review of the hardback: '... Karen Britland offers a persuasive counternarrative ...' Journal of British Studies Review of the hardback: '... a welcome addition to the field ... it deploys a full scholarly apparatus of notes and bibliography. Ten chapters plus introduction, epilogue and appendix cover the queen's performances in England ... Scrupulously researched ... A lively combination of information is brought to bear on the costumes for the masques ... Dance historians should find much of interest in both books.' Dance Chronicle
