Reviews

Gabriele Stein's Word Studies in the Renaissance sheds light on the kinds of reference works to which translators might have turned, and presents a series of analyses of Tudor lexicography...While corralling a potentially daunting level of detail for non-specialists, Stein's volume thus offers a valuable window onto another facet of historically contingent intellectual exchange. * Harriet Archer, The English Association *
