Reviews
... a wide-ranging, ambitious, and intellectually-impressive volume ... One cannot but admire the ambition of this study ... well-informed and impressively scholarly ... The Theatre of the Book teaches us much about publishing and drama in Europe over the course of four centuries and helps us to understand their intertwined relationship. It is a formidable piece of work. * Early Modern Literary Studies *
... remarkable and wide-ranging. * Peter Holland, Times Literary Supplement *
