“Laura R. Bass has written a beautiful and significant book: aesthetically pleasing in terms of the sixty-seven illustrations (a large number in colour) and the comprehensible scholarly style; and conceptually discerning in respect of the historical, material and theoretical readings of select plays interwoven with visual images, the thorough documentation in the accompanying notes, and the exhaustive bibliographical apparatus.”
—Susan L. Fischer, Bulletin of Spanish Studies
