"Impressively well-structured, interdisciplinary book that offers new, important interpretations of Marian England"- Retha M. Warnicke, Arizona State University."Evenden and Westbrook are to be congratulated for editing a volume of high quality articles which adds substantially to our knowledge of both Protestants and Catholics in Marian England. Catholic renewal and Protestant resistance is another milestone in the journey away from the outdated view of Mary’s reign as an unproductive cul-de-sac in English history."- THOMAS S. FREEMAN, University of Essex
