Recenzii
...it would be unwise to deny our pleasure, as works about women, families and sexuality are scarce concerning the Protestant Midi on the second half of the 16th century. The book, furthermore, demonstrates the current dynamism of Early Modern gender studies, both in French and British historiography--and we can but rejoice of it.
[An] elegant and against-the-odds readable journey into women's lives in southern France during a period of social change and religious turmoil. It's a humane and brilliantly told story.
An exhaustive study ... constitutes a substantive display of scholarly acumen ... The women of Lipscomb's narrative are less devious and more direct about their needs. They have been lucky to find such a gifted chronicler.
This impressive study vividly re-animates the lived realities of ordinary women in sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Languedoc...This work is essential reading for specialists and students of gender, consistories, and the Protestant Reformation, while its engaging prose and opening chapters on life in Languedoc and how consistories operated make it accessible to all those interested in early modern France.
Lipscomb's painstaking study ... offers new insights into everyday life and popular morality in Reformation France. A finely wrought and colourful mosaic ... the overall result is ... richly satisfying.
[R]eaders of The Voices of Nîmes will come away with a vivid sense of women's daily life in a sixteenth-century French town and will learn much from the book.
The Voices of Nîmes is a work of meticulous archival research that not only presents [...] past conversations but breathes them into vivid life. It takes a proficient, passionate and witty storyteller like Lipscomb to detail these stories in a way that transports and moves the reader.
This is a splendid read. The author has not overplayed her stories. She has not needed to. This is scholarly writing at its readable best.
This is a beautiful book, grippingly written, and destined to be a classic of social history
Fascinating book... exceptional fresh insights into gender relations, social life, and religious belief among first generations of protestants in the French Midi
Essential reading for all those interested in the hidden stories of the Reformation and hearing the everyday voices so often left out of history books
