Reviews
[A] rich and ambitious study. offers an important example of the new perspectives and insights that may be gained from exploring the intersections of early modern military and cultural history, and from carefully framing literary sources within their historical and generic contexts. * JOURNAL OF BRITISH STUDIES * Patrick Brugh makes a significant contribution to the burgeoning field of cultural military history though a cultural history of gunpowder weaponry. . . . Brugh's book is closely argued, richly documented, and of great significance to the fields of literary studies, military history, and gender history of early modern Europe. * H-NET * Readers interested in the broader cultural context of military history, in image analysis, and in gender analysis will want to read this book. . . . [I]ndividual chapters, especially those dealing with broadsheets, might be useful for teaching students to approach visual sources. -- Janis M. Gibbs * Journal of Military History * [A]n interesting and well-written book, whose novel approach makes it a valuable addition to the historiography of gunpowder weapons and warfare. -- Dan Spencer * De Re Militari * Gunpower, Masculinity, and Warfare in German Texts will prove a noteworthy read for any scholar interested in the artistic, instructional, and literary depictions of gunpowder in sixteenth-and seventeenth-century Germany. And although Brugh's sensitivity to literary theory suggests that the work will speak more to students of literature than students of history, military historians can learn a great deal from Brugh about the aesthetic impact of gunpowder weaponry in early modern Germany. -- Maximilian Miguel Scholz * Central European History *
