Recenzje

'Millstone has produced a deeply researched and highly sophisticated book that will be of the greatest interest to scholars and students of early seventeenth-century England. He has an admirable capacity to delineate detail without ever losing sight of the broader picture. … In guiding us elegantly through the surviving products of early Stuart scribes it whets the appetite for future works from the author's own pen.' David L. Smith, The English Historical Review
