Recensioner i media

"Duncan's book is an interesting read that is accessible to historian form the undergraduate level to the professor. Her book contributes great to Marian studies and the history of queenship and women in power int he early modern period." (American Historical Review) "This is a crisply argued contribution to the debate over Mary I that adds usefully to our appreciation of her long misunderstood reign." (Renaissance Quarterly)
