Reviews

Leitch pursues her quantitative approach to the discourse of treason and its new prominence in the late fifteenth century meticulously in each chapter. Her analysis is often supported by careful, even microscopic, comparison of texts and sources. Elliot Kendall, The Review of English Studies.
