Recenzje

'Compellingly written, and bringing together an unusual and rich collection of texts, artefacts, and practices with a methodology that generates fresh insights into post-Reformation literary and memory culture … This is an important addition to what is at the moment one of the most vibrant fields in early modern studies.' Isabel Karremann, Modern Language Review
