Recenzii
What a surprisingly wonderful read! With this work, Peter Marshall has written one of the best narratives on seventeenth-century English history, bringing together the small world of a Somerset fishing village with the larger worlds of Sir Thomas Wentworth, Archbishop Laud, and even Charles I.
An engaging and ambitious work...a remarkable achievement...thought-provoking and enjoyable.
[This] will appeal to the divergent fields of academic history and broader reading without either boring the academic or patronizing the general reader.
This is as fine an example of microhistory as is likely to be written.
Hugely enjoyable feat of historical reconstruction...intiricate story told with hilarious elegance.
It is an ugly story but Marshall's way of telling it is irresistible and richly informative.
