`Masterful, nuanced, and at times almost overwhelming treatment of Gunpowder Plot.' -- Leah Knight * Renaissance and Reformation vol 40:04:2017 *

‘Masterful, nuanced, and at times almost overwhelming treatment of Gunpowder Plot.’ -- Leah Knight * Renaissance and Reformation vol 40:04:2017 * ""Poets, Players and Preachers is an ambitious book, as rewarding as it is challenging, covering a wide range of genres stretching across a hundred years of history and drawing on a wide range of scholarship and theory."" -- Brent Nelson * Seventeenth Century News * ""[This book] is a fine example of the iterative relationship between literary and historical inquiry, as well as a complex account of how the memory of a single (and ultimately failed) historical event can come to serve widely divergent ends."" -- Todd Butler * Seventeenth Century News * ""Poets, Players and Preachers offers a captivating study of the literary repercussions of the Gunpowder Plot. James makes it clear that this is very much a historicist approach to literary studies and demonstrates the importance and advantages that a greater interdisciplinary relationship between literary and historical studies can bring to enrich our understanding of intention, transmission, and reception of early modern literature."" -- Tatyana Zhukova, University of Nottingham * The Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol xlix, no 2, Summer 2018 *
