Reviews

'Rereading Marlowe, Donne, Milton and writers of revenge tragedy in the light of classical and Christian thought , Timothy Rosendale's study delivers a panoramic perspective on [theological] quandaries ... Rosendale's own writing, sinuous and alert to paradox, does justice to the nuances he identifies.' The Times Literary Supplement '... tightly argued and thorough ... [Rosendale's] book is admirable for several reasons: comprehension of the soteriological tradition; skilled and sustained close readings of major texts; and, perhaps most importantly, a thoroughgoing effort to understand the early modern preoccupation with this issue on early moderns' own terms.'
