Reviews

'... a wide-ranging and erudite study that will be of value to scholars of many disciplines working in England's long sixteenth century. Furthermore, this book will reward each new reading with further insights about the role of the Ten Commandments in early modern culture.' Janice Liedl, Renaissance and Reformation 'The Reformation of the Decalogue is an outstanding achievement that adds to our knowledge of the conformity with which the English people accepted the vast changes that the Reformation brought.' Susan Wabuda, The American Historical Review


'Well-written and meticulously researched, this is an innovative, interdisciplinary study which goes beyond traditional institutional histories to provide a more nuanced understanding of how radio came to be a vital part of French culture in the inter-war years.' JEFFREY H. JACKSON, Rhodes College 'This is a rich and innovative study in French cultural history and, more broadly, an important contribution to the emerging history of aural cultures and soundscapes.' SIMON POTTER, University of Bristol
