Reviews

"Cutting an elegant line among literature, the philosophy of religion and historical phenomenology, Knapp has composed a highly intelligent account of what it meant for early moderns to think, to know and to believe anything, not only about the material world of things and institutions but about the immaterial, invisible, or hidden dimensions to lived experience. An utterly fresh, inspiring study.--Henry S. Turner, Rutgers University For those with an interest in the early modern period's negotiations of alternative, sometimes contradictory, forms of knowledge, Immateriality and Early Modern English Literature is an indispensable resource. Knapp's monograph is to be admired for its careful philological excavations and close reading of a vast intellectual tradition that was so readily apparent to early modern thinkers.--Katherine Walker, University of Nevada ""Reformation"""
