Editorial Reviews
Review
‘well written and consistently thoughtful’ Review of English Studies ‘Bullard effectively embeds the secret histories in the broader political anxieties and ambitions of groups of influential men, and her attention to rhetoric is unusual and a considerable strength.’ Journal of British Studies ‘Bullard is right to bring such intelligent and detailed attention to a genre that was a prominent feature of a complex and dramatic political world.’ English Historical Review
