Rezensionen

"Spaces for Reading in Later Medieval England, Mary Flannery and Carrie Griffin set out to contribute to scholarly debates on the history of reading by focusing on the 'relationship between where reading took place and how it took place'. ... they aim to shed new light on different reading practices, and on the attitudes and responses people in late medieval England may have had towards reading." (Patricia Stoop, sehepunkte, Vol. 19 (4), 2019)

"The essays here offer an in-depth, insightful exploration of those complexities. Recommended for research collections, especially those supporting medieval, early modern, and/or textual studies programs. Summing Up: Recommended. Advanced students through researchers/faculty." (J. Stevens, Choice, Vol. 54 (4), December, 2016)
