Reviews

'Clare has done a marvellous job as editor, bringing together a collection that is both diverse and cohesive, not an easy feat. The interdisciplinary approach works well as nothing in society exists in a vacuum. Therefore, I strongly recommend that instead of cherry-picking 'the relevant chapter' you read this collection cover to cover.' Sonja Kleij, Universiteit Utrecht, English Journal of the English Association, Volume 68, Issue 261, Summer 2019 -- .

English Journal of the English Association 'Cumulatively, the essays collected here demonstrate just how much connects the Republic with what followed, prompting us to see the familiar in a new light or to make new discoveries entirely. They also serve as a stark reminder that scholars who insist on imposing artificial (and often arbitrary) period divisions onto the materials of the seventeenth century do so at their peril.'
