Recensione

"The editors have done very well also in shaping the collection of essays to cohere, not only by virtue of the essays' shared interest in using British history to further our understanding of early modern English literature, but also by their having read and learned from one another. It's a rare thing in a collection to find essays that truly are in conversation with one another, and the editors deserve much praise for it." Sixteenth Century Journal

"Invalauble." H-ALBION

"The essays are an excellent introduction into a relatively new field." History

"This is an intellectually engaging [book]." Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History
