Reviews
""Samson’s Cords is a sophisticated, learned, and thoughtful book based on wide reading and deep thinking."" -- Andrew Hadfield, University of Sussex * <em>Modern Philology</em> * ""Garganigo’s work certainly increases our understanding of the literature of Milton, Marvell, and Butler, and for those who specialize in their study, Samson’s Cords is well worth a read."" -- Jonathan Michael Gray * <em>Renaissance Quarterly</em> * ""The dialogic nature of Samson’s Cords will make it the go-to book for people interested in any and all issues surrounding the oath: perjury, censorship, cursing, equivocation, casuistry, office, loyalty, promise, and ethics. There is much here as well for early modernists working on Butler, Marvell, and Milton, as Garganigo provides new, innovative, and restorative readings of all three, reminding readers how important literary poetics continues to be within the ethically focused historical scholarship of the last several years."" -- Megan Matchinske, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill * <em>University of Toronto Quarterly: Letters in Canada 2018</em> *
