'[An] illuminating guide to the religious and literary culture of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England.' The Times Literary Supplement 'Read's monograph reasserts the value of formalist literary study for broader questions in the humanities.' Ryan Netzley, Renaissance Quarterly 'Read has undoubtedly written a valuable book. Every chapter of her study offers nuanced interpretations of early modern poetry in the shifting contexts of the period's eucharistic debates and the rhetorical theories animating them. [This book] should be widely read by those who study the relations between theological controversy and poetic practice in early modern England.' Gary Kuchar, George Herbert Journal
