'... Paula McQuade's delightful book, a work of literary scholarship which is not only for literary scholars. Like many of her authors - women whose humanity she never forgets - her professed aims are modest: to add half-a-dozen more minor entries to the emerging canon of early modern women's writing in English, and in the process to persuade us that catechesis deserves to be taken seriously as a literary genre. As it happens, the significance of her work extends a little further than that.' Alec Ryrie, The Journal of Ecclesiastical History '...
