"A cliché-free zone, a most refreshing read for students as
well as teachers." Sederi
"Renaissance and Reformations is an extraordinary achievement:
Michael Hattaway's compact study of Early Modern literature belies
an astonishing command of the conditions of thought and writing
that produced it and does so with an unusual citation of all forms
and genres, major and minor and newly-discovered texts. As a
result, he is able to take us into the imaginative processes of the
time to show us the sheer pleasures these works held as no other
study has done." Arthur F. Kinney, University of Massachusetts,
Amherst
“Sharp insights and fresh examples fill Michael Hattaway's
welcome book. He enlightens new readers and those who thought they
knew 'that foreign country, early modern England' - its high, low,
middling culture, its performances and rulers and ruled. All become
understandable and beguilingly strange in Hattaway's volume. He
admirably 'asks "how" questions not "what" questions' and invites
readers to think through ideas, texts, techniques, images,
historical moments so they all become the reader's own.”
A. R. Braunmuller, University of California, Los
Angeles
“Put this on your reading-lists.”
