Actresses on the Victorian Stage: Feminine Performance and the Galatea Myth (Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture) Book

Gail Marshall looks at actresses on the English stage of the later nineteenth century, and argues that much of their work is determined by the popularity at the time of images of Classical sculpture.
