Pressestimmen
“Popular Theatre and Political Utopia gives us both telling vignettes and a broad overview of theatre that sought collective transcendence during the Third Republic. By doing so, it sheds light on a vast realm of performances that is rarely mapped out in works this comprehensive or this richly researched.” (Cary Hollinshead-Strick, H-France Review, Vol. 18 (230), December, 2018)
