Reviews

The strength of Auger's book is that he has once more established Du Bartas as a vastly influential model and viable third route: indeed, in Auger's estimation, as nothing less than 'essential reading for any student of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century literary and devotional culture' (226). * Sebastiaan Verweij, The Spenser Review * ...an academic monograph that affords great reading pleasure. * Goran Stanivukovic, Renaissance and Reformation *
