Trade Review

“Elisabeth Salter’s book . . . deals with perhaps the most exciting period in relation to the history of reading in England . . . it is a pleasure to follow the close attention she lavishes on such under-appreciated material as the Gesta Romanorum in her chapter on ‘moral reading’ . . . the care with which she outlines her methods and defines her terms is also eminently laudable and sets her study apart from the broader approaches to the history of reading.”
Mary C. Flannery, The TLS, 28th June 2013
