Reviews

Heavily footnoted, scrupulous, succinct, thoughtful, synthetic but also original- it is a collection I'll return to over and over again in both my research and my teaching. * Henry S. Turner *

It is impossible to do justice to such a large and varied volume, with so many excellent essays, in a short review. ... while the remit may have been to provide an advanced resource for literature scholars, the volume contains much that will be of interest to historians, theologians, and visual studies scholars. * Natalie Mears, Renaissance Quarterly * Heavily footnoted, scrupulous, succinct, thoughtful, synthetic but also original- it is a collection I'll return to over and over again in both my research and my teaching. * Henry S.
