Reviews
'... the editors are to be congratulated on a collection of essays that combine to form a thorough reassessment of the relationship between private devotion and the public liturgy.' History 'In aggregate, these essays offer some intriguing insights into the subject matter.' Renaissance Quarterly 'This is an excellent and illuminating collection that not only deepens our understanding of lived religion in Protestant England and Scotland; it also showcases some of the innovative new directions and methodologies employed by those studying early-modern religious cultures.' Catholic Historical Review '... this is an invaluable collection for enhancing our knowledge of a whole range of domestic pious practices, and of 'private' devotion more generally ... with this rich and wide-ranging volume we know a lot more about domestic devotion than we did before.' English Historical Review '...their willingness to go beyond the printed sources to mine personal letters, commonplace books and other manuscript sources makes this an especially valuable study.' Anaphora
