Reviews

I very much enjoyed reading Renaissance Cultural Crossroads, learned a great deal from it, and look forward to drawing on it in my own research. The essays contained in it are of consistently high quality and it is recommended reading for anyone interested in translation and intercultural traffic during the early modern era. Jan Frans van Dijkhuizen, University of Leiden. In: Quaerendo, Vol. 44, No. 4 (2014) p. 302.

Jan Frans van Dijkhuizen, University of Leiden. In: Quaerendo, Vol. 44, No. 4 (2014) p. 302. Excellent volume [...] a major contribution to scholarship on the early modern period [...]. I wish I had been able to draw more on these insightful, well-researched essays in my own in-press work [...]. They reveal the fascinating range of concerns that preoccupied translators and printers in Renaissance England: matters intellectual, spiritual, aesthetic, erotic, political, and practical; no less than the whole of life. Anne Coldiron, Florida State University. In: Publishing History, Vol. 74 (2014), pp. 97-102.
