Reviews

'This fascinating work, the fruit of many years of research, will be of enormous interest to researchers and students...Lee's book is a welcome addition to the field of early modern studies in general and early modern Spanish history in particular.' Francois Soyer, University of Southampton, Journal of Interdisciplinary History, Volume 47, Number 4, Spring 2017 'Non specialists will find this study a helpful introduction to these major areas of research in early-modern Hispanic studies and may bring away theoretical insights applicable to other areas of investigation such as Trans-Atlantic Studies or Colonial Studies. Specialists will find The Anxiety of Sameness a rich contribution to a well-established field due to the variety of texts discussed, many of which do not regularly enter into historical and cultural analysis in the early modern period, as well as Lee's fresh approach to these texts. Further, many monographs tend to focus either on the Conversos or the Moriscos, but Lee has provided a unique monograph by bringing the two problems together in a thoughtful and engaging way.' Jason D. Busic, Denison University, Journal of Social History -- .
