Pressezitat
"...whereas such volumes often offer little more than a collection of essays on a narrow range of canonical or proto-canonical literary works, this book both promises and delivers a great deal more, and should be read by all historians of early modern London or urban culture between the Reformation and the Civil War... This is truly a model of new historicism in action." Jonathan Barry, Urban History
