‘Highly recommended.’ - F.L. Den (Choice Magazine vol 54:02:2016) ‘Ronald Huebert’s impressive book offers a welcome counter weight to many studies (recent and forthcoming) on various aspects of publicity, sociality, and material embeddedness in the Renaissance.’- Kevin Curran (Studies in English Literature (SEL) vol 57:02:2017) ‘The close reading practices that are deployed through the book reveal a remarkable pattern on intersected social and literary practice…. Huebert takes readers on a richly rewarded journey through the interface of literary discourse and social theory.’- Daniiel Fischlin (Renaissance & reformation vol 39:03:2016) "This book’s great strength is its survey of a diverse collection of literary works, including manuscripts and printed works, authors from the canonical to the obscure, women writers as well as men, and plays, lyric poems, utopian fiction, domestic advice tracts, commonplace books, and diaries."- Mary Trull, St. Olaf College (University of Toronto Quarterly, vol 87 3, Summer 2018)
