At a time when notions of the unified self have become increasingly untenable, a book that purports to ‘restore [the study of] character to dramatic criticism’ is likely to encounter difficulties. But inasmuch as Gruber focuses on character in modern drama as the definition or redefinition of ‘subjectivity, identity, [and] selfhood’ on the stage, readers may feel that he sets out to ‘restore’ to dramatic criticism a central component of its discourse.
