Recenzii
'a treasure-trove for seventeenth-century English historians, and especially for those interested in the comparatively neglected 1650s ... These volumes have been edited with a care that befits their long gestation. Each "letter" is accompanied by biographical information and details of the appropriate historical context ... a work that gives riveting insights into the world of seventeenth-century English Puritanism and Dissent.'Times Literary Supplement
'The two volumes now published represent the completion of a Herculean task. For those of us who can never hope to examine the originals this is an indispensable substitute. A full apparatus of valuable bibliography is also constantly present in the editorial notes. The Calendar contains a mine of information on the theological controversies of Baxter's era. Many are and will be indebted to the editors for such a careful labour of love.'Iain H. Murray, The Banner of Truth
'the apparatus is magnificent: books and persons are identified, discussions and printings of letters noted, heresies defined, secondary literature referred to, and, crucially, pertinent passages from the Reliquiae juxtaposed with the letters ... Nuttall and Keeble have rightly ignored the print/manuscript boundary: they have included printed dedicatory epistles, and over 400 letters which are extant only in printed versions. Their superb calendar allows the fullest exploration of the finest flowering of English Protestant epistolary culture.'Mark Goldie, Churchill College, Cambridge, Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 44, No. 1, 1993
'This work is a scholarly and accurate record of the voluminous letters and prefatory epistles of Richard Baxter, together with correspondence from those who were his admirers and adversaries. The material is a treasure-house for those eager to study, in depth, the history, theological concerns, social conditions and pastoral styles of 17th century England, during the Commonwealth and Restoration period. The Bibliography and Indices are superb, the volumes are a delight to handle and a tribute to Clarendon. A major historical resource.'James Robertson, Theological Book Review, Vol. 6, No. 2, February 1994
