“Closet Devotions is a brilliant exposition of the carnal subtext of Renaissance spirituality and a major contribution to our understanding of religious verse.” - Richard C. McCoy (Studies in English Literature 1500-1900) “Closet Devotions is both impressive and potentially disquieting scholarship. . . . It is to be hoped that interested Hispanists will take advantage of Rambuss’s insights.” - Christopher B. Weimer (Calíope) "[A] provocative and well-written book . . . . [I]mpressive reading . . . . [A] bold book . . . . [A] major critical intervention in seventeenth-century studies. It will remain a central part of the conversation for some time to come."- Michael Schoenfeldt (Modern Philology) "Rambuss's readings demonstrate the breadth of the Christian tradition against its own normalizing and constraining tendencies." - Amy Hollywood (Signs)
