Recenzii
... the book repeatedly opens up fruitful lines of enquiry. Its great value is to be found in the extraordinary richness of its data and in its recovery of a mainstream culture largely neglected because neither radical nor innovative. It is a work to which constant reference will be made for the foreseeable future by anyone working on early modern print culture.
Fellow scholars will recognize Green's labors as a monument of scholarly endeavor. His wide view provides context for the study of English religion in the period and henceforth students of this religious literature will do well to begin here. His book is rich with valuable detail about publishers, authors and readers ... this is an impressive and significant contribution to the study of early modern English Protestantism.
Green provides the first truly comprehensive overview of reformed print culture in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and his book should be required reading for anyone interested in literacy and literate culture in the period.
A handsome volume in the very best tradition of the OUP.
Green's book is a significant addition to English Reformation 'revisionism', and its tour through the 'steady sellers' of early modern England is both authoritative and enlightening.
Impressively researched and exhaustively documented survey ... a work of admirable and meticulous scholarship. It will be an invaluable guide to historians and bibliographers for many years to come, an authoritative aid to the combined STCs which many of us will find ourselves constantly consulting.
In demonstrating that divinity dominated the output of the printing presses until the eighteenth century, Green also provides a salutary corrective to accounts which overestimate the speed of secularization and the impact of Englightenment scepticism.
This is a thorough and significant book ... it is the best kind of academic writing, lucid, free of jargon, trenchant but fair, and courteous to other scholars; it illuminates every subject that it touches upon and is knit together by a strong and important argument.
Ian Green brings to the job an impressive knowledge of different genres and a sensitivity in the reading of individual works: his every judgement seems authoritative ... The very scale of his work carries conviction.
This is an ambitious work of profound scholarship ... an extraordinary achievement in the making, the scholarly equivalent of walking to both poles.
The book is a mass of information ... I would hazard that no other historian has an encyclopaedic a knowledge of printed English religious literature as Green has for this lengthy period.
