Reviews

Mathew Martin, Department of English, Brock University:

'Sexuality and Citizenship approaches an important but neglected genre of Elizabethan poetry in a fresh and insightful way ... It also synthesizes and extends a considerable body of recent research done on the relationship between forms of literature, forms of subjectivity, and forms of politics in other areas of early modern studies. The work is a valuable contribution to one of the dominant debates in early modern studies.'
