Holy Living and Holy Dying: Volume II: Holy Dying: Oxford English Texts

`It is P.G.Stanwood's inestimable service to have readers to appreciate the richness of Taylor's text and of his rhetorical strategies by granting them for the first time full access to Taylor's cultural store. To the benefit of a carefully edited text he adds detailed and comprehensive bibliographical annotation for all Taylors allusions, ...'Christina Malcolmson, Yearbook of English Studies.

'There is much here for which the modern reader has cause to be grateful.'Isabel Rivers, St Hugh's College, Oxford, Notes and Queries, March 1992
'P.G. Stanwood has presented us with a reliable text based upon scrupulous collation of all the editions published during Taylor's lifetime ... Holy Living is in every way an achievement equal to that of Holy Dying; the two treatises are counterparts, each excellent in its kind. We can be grateful to this new edition for increasing our appreciation of a major writer of English prose and a major defender of the potential for good in human nature.'Louis L. Martz, Yale University, Modern Philology
