Pleased to see this out! Really enjoyed reviewing this volume, which makes an important contribution to the theorisation of lordship

"his prose is self-consciously metatheatrical—by turns, poetic, playful, incisive and laugh-out-loud funny. ... an author who knows how to bring a reader along with him, welcoming the uninitiated ... and offering the right amount of exposition at the right time." Thank you @extispex.bsky.social!
