'Gertz beautifully illuminates the literary qualities of Askew's writing ... Heresy Trials and English Women Writers, 1400-1670 is a stimulating and interesting book.' Journal of the Northern Renaissance 'Heresy Trials and English Women Writers, 1400-1670 is a compelling account of heresy trials, and a valuable addition to current scholarship on trial narratives, the history of women's preaching, women's autobiographical writing and biographical writings of women.' Nora King, The History of Women Religious of Britain and Ireland 'A learned, crisply written book ... Gertz offers a nuanced map of how belief and resistance helped to generate writing.' Renaissance Quarterly 'Gertz's book succeeds in its stated goal: to recover a history of women's preaching before the seventeenth century. More importantly, perhaps, she also makes an argument for reading women's preaching and religious writing cross-confessionallyand comparatively.' Courtney E. Rydel, Recusant History
