Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"Richly historical and amply grounded in archival evidence, this descriptive, narrative history portion of Merritt's arguement is a pleasurable read, carefully nuanced to challenge existing generalizations in the manner that enriches rather than turns down."
(Julie Bowman: The Sixteenth Century Journal: Vol XLIV, No 3: 2013
