Reviews

'... not only important but also engaging ...' The Times Higher Education Supplement 'Scholars of early modern literature will find much of interest here in the author's sensitive readings of poetry and prose by both canonical and lesser-known writers; and those interested in the development of the carceral system in the early modern period in England will find Ahnert's observations on its evolution both informative thought-provoking.' Patrick J. Murray, Journal of the Northern Renaissance


'... not only important but also engaging ...' Times Higher Education
