The book is a goldmine of historical and contemporary case studies with which readers are invited to visualise the complexity of self-representation practices and artefacts. ... thoroughly researched and cross-referenced to both archival and contemporary sources, the language remains clear, jargon-free, and draws readers in through narrative descriptions that are easy to visualize. ... strength of Rettberg's writing is in her highly illustrative explications through which readers are able to visualise her arguments without the aid of devices or technology.
