Review

"Children and Theatre in Victorian Britain provides a far-reaching accouont of a vital area, long overdue for sustained consideration... Varty brings together a staggering mass of material in this full-length study: actors' autobiographies, theater records, contemporary accounts and reviews in newspapers and theater magazines, legal reform documents, and forgotten plays as well as modern scholarship on both Victorian children and Victorian theater. She provides an extensive picture of the importance of children's theater and child actors in Victorian Britain." —Laurie Langbauer, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
