Abstract
Sarah Balkin’s Spectral Characters: Genre and Materiality on the Modern Stage persuasively expands the temporal and generic boundaries of modern characters to include the supernatural, the imaginary, and the socially constructed. Chapters on Henrik Ibsen, Oscar Wilde, and August Strindberg renegotiate conventional demarcations between realist and modernist dramaturgy.
