Reviews

'... the quality of the essays collected in this volume is high.... scholars will undoubtedly find these essays rewarding.... makes for fascinating reading, and would appeal to anyone interested in Eire's scholarship.' Renaissance & Reformation '... a lightness of touch, imagination, and the most rigorous scholarship. [Eire] is a unique historian, willing and able successfully to counter the assumptions of modern Western academia about the meaning of religion, the body, and of history itself, and should be studied by anyone hoping to understand any aspect of the early modern period.'
