“Freyja Cox Jensen’s
Reading the Roman Republic in Early Modern England is one of those rare scholarly achievements that succeed in combining scrupulous documentation, painstaking textual analysis, and fascinating critical insight.”Domenico Lovascio, University of Genoa. In: Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. 45, No. 2 (2014), pp. 437-438.
“It will be clear that there is much material here that is likely to be of interest to classicists, literary scholars, and historians of the early modern period. Particularly valuable for the bibliographical world, I think, is the delivery of another model of book-historical research that embraces work on readership, ownership, and the use of books, and that integrates it with more traditional approaches to published output. We are seeing more of this, as we increasingly recognize the value of post-production evidence in understanding the social impact of books, and Jensen’s work is much to be welcomed as an addition to this ever-growing field.”
