Recensioner i media

`It is always a pleasure to read what Jean Howard has written. ... State-of-the-art theoretical concerns and acute historical inquiry are brought to bear with uncommon supplenes. Her arguements are never narrow; ... she fashions analytical ensembles, covering more bases than much critical argumentaion can lay claim to. - Shakespeare Quartaly`Howard's lucid and elegant prose enables her to combine theoretical sophistication with readability, and the book the concealed workings of ideology,' - Gender & History
