"I cannot begin to do justice to this book in this brief review. As
a lay reader interested in gender, sexuality, and the history of
the body, I approached the book with great curiosity and I was not
disappointed."
-- German Studies Review "Alongside all of the quickly and
superficially produced publications on Viennese modernism,
Timpano's book pleasantly stands out - as a very serious study
written with a highly scientific ethos."-- Journal of Art
Historiography"Timpano writes with confidence and authority on art
history…[his] perspective on some of the better known developments
in twentieth-century European puppetry will be of interest to
readers."-- Puppetry International
