skew the historical evidence. He expresses his “regret” that the considerable popularity of Mantel’s books and their subsequent adaptation for television has “given her fictional treatment of the Henrician Reformation a distinctive kind of authority,” thereby bringing More’s name into disrepute. Duffy’s reservations about the accuracy of Mantel’s interpretations are certainly justified. However, it is telling that Duffy offers far less criticism of another popular fictional work on the same subject – Robert Bolt’s 1960 “masterpiece,” A Man for all Seasons. As Duffy himself acknowledges, Bolt’s work is equally guilty of propagating a false image of More: his portrayal of More as a “liberal individualist concerned above all with personal integrity” is no less fictional than Mantel’s (nor, arguably, is Bolt’s caricatured portrait of Cromwell as a manipulative bully). However, Duffy largely absolves Bolt of these crimes, arguing that “whatever its historical shortcomings, Bolt’s brilliant picture of More as the advocate of individual conscience caught the public imagination, and the success of the film fed a striking revival of interest in More and his times.” Surely Mantel’s work, which has helped energize scholarly research into Cromwell, is deserving of a similar pardon? Overall, A People’s Tragedy does not offer a substantially different interpretation of the English Reformation to that already well-established by Duffy in his previous work (and subsequently reinforced by a generation of revisionist and post-revisionist scholars). Nevertheless, the essays collected here offer a series of fascinating further reflections on that central theme, demonstrating the sheer variety and vitality of late medieval religion in England, as well as providing convincing explanations as to why it has taken historians so long to appreciate it fully.

ABSTRACT While scholarship on the Edwardian Reformation often stresses reformers’ critiques of liturgical music as evidence for their disdain of religious music more broadly, this article posits that the numerous volumes of English-texted, verse scripture printed at this time demonstrate the central strategic importance of vernacular devotional song for reformers from a variety of backgrounds. Focusing on William Baldwin’s The Canticles or balades of Salomon (1549), William Samuel’s The abridgemente of goddess statutes (1551), and Christopher Tye’s The Actes of the Apostles (1553), this article re-centers the early collections of metrical psalms and other biblical verse paraphrases printed in Edwardian England as musical texts, demonstrating that reformers in mid-Tudor England embraced music as a means for England’s inhabitants to acquaint themselves with the theology and practices of the reformed Church of England. In doing so, they employed singing to confessionalize a public with diverse religious beliefs.
摘要尽管关于爱德华时代宗教改革的学术界经常强调改革者对礼拜音乐的批评，以此作为他们更广泛地蔑视宗教音乐的证据，但本文认为，此时印刷的大量英文文本、韵文经文表明了白话奉献歌曲对来自不同背景的改革者的核心战略重要性。本文以威廉·鲍德温（William Baldwin）的《所罗门的圣歌》（The Canticles or balades of Salomon）（1549）、威廉·塞缪尔（William Samuel，这表明都铎王朝中期的英国改革者接受音乐作为一种手段，让英国居民熟悉改革后的英国教会的神学和实践。在这样做的过程中，他们用唱歌来忏悔具有不同宗教信仰的公众。

years leading up to Charles’s execution, rooting his argument in a careful reading of pages from Milton’s own King James Bible. Chapter 8 concludes the book arguing that Milton himself caps the tradition of “literal” biblical interpretation originating with Tyndale. For Milton, reason trumps tradition, and he is fully aware that the Protestant tradition isn’t really “literal” at all, especially when Bible verses are read in their original textual and historical contexts. Romans 13 is critical once more and Milton overturns the interpretation of Paul that supports divine right and obedience to kings, returning to the kind of historicizing that was practiced by Erasmus and Colet, though to different ends. Paul was writing not of all rulers but of the current Roman emperor, Claudius, who (unlike his predecessor Nero) was good and decent; “Paul would never have meant obedience to tyranny.” In conclusion, this is a remarkably rich book that should have a considerable impact on scholars of Erasmus, Tyndale, Spenser, Shakespeare, and Milton, on our understanding of key aspects of sixteenth and early seventeenth-century English politics, on Bible translation and specific English Bibles (especially the Geneva), and on practices of reading, including the interpretation of texts.

spend enough time spelling out the implications of its consistently detailed analysis. The chapter on household printing clearly presents the role printers play in developing “householders” as a market segment, but the connection between that development and the broader cultural concept of household remains implicit, gestured at in the introduction and conclusion to the chapter. Similarly, for all the strengths of the book’s genre-by-genre approach, I had hoped for a fuller concluding chapter that drew together the parallel marketing trends and explored the undoubtedly complex interrelationship between concomitantly developing audiences. In all, Marketing English Books is a valuable resource for readers who wish to understand the book trade as a whole as well as those interested in contextualizing a specific text or genre. It often challenges traditional assumptions about how texts were marketed and offers convincing evidence to support its challenges. If the connections between genres have not always been made as fully as I would like, the chapters provide a solid foundation from which readers can draw their own conclusions.

framework to analyze how images can construct meaning and both prompt and evade interpretation. It probes at central issues related to audience, publics, reception, artistic intent, and fundamentally how images communicate. The book situates Dürer at the nexus of these developments due to his unique positionality and artistic identity. Yet the book also suggests that the epistolary mode goes beyond Dürer. A question remaining at the conclusion of reading is how the epistolary mode might be identified in images without an overt connection to the type of epistolary activity that Dürer engaged in, and how Brisman’s framework might be adapted as a broader interpretative tool. The author makes clear that just because a letter appears in a work of art does not mean it engages in the same construction of meaning as Dürer’s works. Indeed, an interesting sub-theme of the book is to mark the historical specificity of this mode, shown to hinge on a confluence of factors that included the new postal service, printmaking, the Reformation, and an artist who was himself particularly engaged in the practice of letter writing. As Brisman shows, letters in seventeenth-century art mean something quite different than they do in Dürer’s works due to changes in notions of intimacy, the function of letters, and gendered shifts in letter writing. At the same time, Brisman concludes with the intriguing statement that “the epistolary mode is evident wherever the work of art is, on the one hand, hopeful about what it might be – the kinds of connectivity it might yield – while, on the other hand, mournful about what it is not” (180). The book presents a probing and enlightening discussion of Dürer’s works, his artistic and literary practice, and his means of address to his various publics.
