Lynn Voskuil shows how the Victorians' fabled commitment to the culture of sincerity was often authorized, rather than invariably threatened, by their equally powerful fascination with acting and performance. She explores a range of materials: plays, novels, drama and theater criticism, newspaper reviews, private diaries , cartoons and more.
