Recenzii
[a] thoroughly researched and compellingly framed study finely conceived
a theoretically and historically rigorous account ... The Matter of Money is brilliant, wide-ranging, difficult, and sometimes exhilarating; it is a book that makes a major contribution to recent scholarship on economy and material culture.
[An] important study ... there is no more topical concern today than the morality of capitalist finance, and works such as these can teach us how that force was regarded by the first generations to be exposed to its power.
a fascinating historicist account of early modern English coins and their place in the literature of this period ... penetreting and lively ... much more than a study of the sixteenth-century English economy, ambitious that alone would be. Landreth shows how something as ubiquitous in the culture as money is pervasive in the literature, too.
[a] striking, consistently intelligent study ... this is a book that Elizabethanists in general, and Shakespeareans in particular, will not want to miss ... Highly recommended.
The Face of Mammon is an important and timely book, relevant both for how it illuminates the often neglected historicity of money and for its strikingly original and persuasive new readings of how currency functions in some of the most studied works of Elizabethan literature.
compelling and wide-ranging readings
