Rezensionen
"In 1611: Authority, Gender and the Word in Early Modern England, Helen Wilcox transports us back to the rich textual history of a single year in Jacobean England, where she proves to be the most amiable and knowledgeable of guides. Side by side, elite works next to popular, the year unfolds with all the curious excitement of an elegantly presented almanac. Whether your preference is for The King James Bible or Dekker and Middleton's The Roaring Girl, Coryates Crudities or The Winter's Tale, this is a splendid slice-of-life introduction to early modern England that will please new readers and specialists alike."
--Jonathan F.S. Post, University of California, Los Angeles
"Fascinating, elegant, and eminently readable, 1611 is a treasure trove of information and critical insight. Wilcox displays great range, writing as smartly about Shakespeare as about Lanyer, about secular as about devotional works. She makes juxtapositions and connections among texts that are unexpected and illuminating."
--Achsah Guibbory, Barnard College
"Conventionally, our knowledge of texts is filtered through canon formations, critical traditions, and political agendas, producing predictable selectivities, but different perspectives can be gained by the radically simple method Helen Wilcox adopts, of assembling the texts, connections and priorities of a key moment in the past. 1611 offers the student the chance to share a journey of discovery of a single year."
--Cedric Brown, Professor Emeritus, University of Reading
