Exploring this rapidly shifting world through a series of original readings of dramatic texts and important moments of oratory, this book demonstrates how the perceived crises of imperial and domestic Britain joined these spheres in the popular imagination, revealing how the economics of political and sexual exchange not only became entwined but functioned as mutual supports during a period of social, cultural, and political readjustment.

""O'Quinn's book is one of great importance and significant innovation. His understanding of the situated nature and ideological function of performance is excellent.""
