Lynn R. Wilkinson is an associate professor of Germanic studies at the University of Texas at Austin. She is the author of Anne Charlotte Leffler and Modernist Drama: True Women and New Women on the Fin-de-SiÈcle Scandinavian Stage and The Dream of an Absolute Language: Emanuel Swedenborg and French Literary Culture.

This book is truly a gem. Wilkinson's research is entirely original-this is a pioneering study that skillfully and methodically maps out Emma Gad's entire dramatic production. Gad deserves a readership for her entertaining plays and Wilkinson's study successfully brings the relevance of her work into focus." - Marianne Stecher, University of Washington"Wilkinson succeeds in bringing Emma Gad from the shadows of literary history into the spotlight. A contemporary of Ibsen, Shaw, and Wilde, Gad was a highly successful playwright and cultural mediator in the Copenhagen of Edvard and Georg Brandes. This book will be useful to anyone interested in European intellectual history and the history of theater." - Susan C. Brantly, University of Wisconsin-Madison
