Corry Cropper (Redaktør) Christopher M. Flood (Redaktør) Corry Cropper (Oversetter) Christopher M. Flood (Oversetter)

"This well-introduced collection of little-known musical comedies featuring French characterizations of Mormonism is a welcome contribution to nineteenth-century French cultural studies. The translations themselves are excellent . . . the authors’ choices of idiomatic expressions capture just the right tone, neither anachronistically modern nor too archaic to retain their impact."
