Examining chameleonic identities as seen in theatrical performances and literary texts during the Romantic period, this study explores cultural attitudes toward imposture and how it reveals important and much-debated issues about this time period. Brewer shows chameleonism evoked anxieties about both social instability and British selfhood.

Industry Reviews

"William D. Brewer's Staging Romantic Cha-meleons and Imposters proposes a broad definition of theatricality that moves from the stage to the page and from the world of fiction to real-life imposters. ... This book will interest not only scholars of the period's drama but also students of, say, Keatsian poetics or Byronic mobility." (Recent Studies in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 56 (4), Autumn, 2016)
