Kritik
"Thorpe's study offers a wonderful overview of the ways in which Chinese theater has been imagined, translated, adapted, and imported onto the London Stage for four hundred years. ... Much more useful and interesting is the way this large overarching thesis allows for a series of fascinating case studies of Chinese theater imagined, imported, translated, and adapted for the London audience." (Paize Keulemans, CHINOPERL, Vol. 37 (2), 2018)mehr
