The author is the first to tackle such disparate sources as census returns, court cases, playbills and local newspapers in order to recreate the daily lives of Victorian actresses. Her analysis of their pay, working conditions and training is a major contribution to our understanding of the growing occupational opportunities for women during the nineteenth-century.
