Veronica Kelly is professor emerita in the School of Communication and Arts at the University of Queensland.'The collection is engagingly interdisciplinary and makes a convincing case for prosopography as a useful tool for understanding both modernism and a wide range of performances in Australia in the late-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.' -- Liz Schafer -- New Theatre Quarterly
'Impact of the Modern provides a series of entry points into "the modern" in an Australian context and as such, is a welcome complement to recent volumes on the immediate subject while offering much to the wider field of modernist studies.' -- Tanya Dalziell -- Modernism/Modernity
' ... this impressive volume is a must for researchers interested in all aspects of modernism and modernity, from an Australian perspective and beyond.' -- Joanne Tompkins -- Contemporary Theatre Review
' ... this is a volume which any Australianist scholar interested in cultural history, and its popular manifestations, can dip into. Much new knowledge is demonstrated here as well as new discoveries about old traditions and the place of Australia within the climate of international modernist debate in the period 1870 to 1960.' -- Victor Emeljanow -- Australasian Drama Studies
