Product Description

Skiles Howard, Shakespeare Quarterly. Vol.51.No.2.

"An impressive study."


Review

An impressive study. (Skiles Howard, Shakespeare Quarterly. Vol.51.No.2. )

an encyclopedic yet captivating compendium of life-cycle customs ... and their social, cultural, and religious history. (Skiles Howard, Shakespeare Quarterly. Vol.51.No.2. )

an invaluable research companion to Shakespeare studies. (Skiles Howard, Shakespeare Quarterly. Vol.51.No.2. )

His portrayal of life-cycle customs is cinematic in scope and style, a vista of elite protocols, secular traditions, and the contraversies surrounding them illuminated with a profusion of closely focused and vivid anecdotes from everyday life. (Skiles Howard, Shakespeare Quarterly. Vol.51.No.2. )

an extremely valuable work, erudite and enthralling. (Skiles Howard, Shakespeare Quarterly. Vol.51.No.2. )

so extensive and often so novel in itself that it opens a door on a lost world of experience, dispelling popular myths and removing areas of scholarly ignorance. (TLS )

detailed and absorbing book (The Observer )

David Cressy's detailed study examines how each elaborate rite of passage was shaped and altered by the wider events of the Reformation, the Commonwealth, and the Restoration. (History Today )
