ItemReview of "Puritans and Libertines: Anglo-French Literary Relations in the Reformation" by Richmond(Oxford University Press, 1984) Daalder, JoostReview of H.M. Richmond's book "Puritans and Libertines: Anglo-French Literary Relations in the Reformation" (Berkeley, Los Angeles, and London: University of California Press, 1981). This book, according to Daalder, is a disconcertingly uneven one, not least because its virtues and vices are not immediately easy to define.
-
ItemReview of "Representing Prostitution in Eighteenth-Century English Popular Print and Culture" by Sophie Carter(Parergon, 2005) Daalder, JoostDaalder's review of Sophie Carter's book "Representing Prostitution in Eighteenth-Century English Popular Print and Culture" (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2004).

ItemReview of "The Art of Naming" by Ferry(Oxford University Press, 1991) Daalder, JoostA favourable review of Anne Ferry's book "The Art of Naming" (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 1988). Daalder states that this book makes a valuable contribution to the study of sixteenth-century literature; to say that the book is valuable is not, however, to imply that it has no shortcomings. Nonetheless, despite some drawbacks, Daalder considers Ferry's book to be something of a minor masterpiece.
-

-
ItemReview of 'Graffiti and the writing arts of early modern England' by Juliet Fleming(Australasian Universities Language and Literature Association, 2005-11) Daalder, JoostThis is a curious book, which makes one feel that its author is a genuine scholar, who is dealing with an important subject and provides some knowledge by no means easily or frequently available, but who nevertheless in the end does not provide a satisfying, nourishing account. (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2001.)
-
ItemReview of 'On Shakespeare and early modern literature: Essays' by John Kerrigan(Australasian Universities Language and Literature Association, 2005-11) Daalder, JoostJohn Kerrigan is one of the very best of today’s commentators on “Early Modern” (I still prefer “Renaissance”) literature. Although he has also written on other periods, he here concentrates on “a body of writing which, in its linguistic and social richness, has probably never been equalled” (vii). All of the essays except a richly rewarding one on “William Drummond and the British Problem” have appeared before, but all of them deserve their place in this excellent volume. (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2001.)
-
ItemReview of 'Shakespeare's metrics' by Dorothy L. Sipe(Australasian Universities Language and Literature Association, 1970-11) Daalder, JoostMiss Sipe sets out to prove correct the debated assumption that Shakespeare "wrote carefully constructed iambic verse into which he introduced only those few minor variations considered permissible in his time". Her labour is extensive, her methodology questionable.
-
ItemReview of 'Shakespeare, Marlowe, Jonson: New directions in biography' edited by Kozuka and Mulryne(Parergon, 2006) Daalder, JoostDaalder's review of Takashi Kozuka and J.R Mulryne (eds) 'Shakespeare, Marlowe, Jonson: New directions in biography' (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2006)
-
ItemReview of 'The Shakespearean International Yearbook: Vols 1 and 2' by Elton and Mucciolo(Australasian Universities Language and Literature Association, 2004-11) Daalder, JoostThere are a great many different matters discussed, in these excellent volumes, which I cannot here explore or even list. Suffice it to say that the editors have adopted a very comprehensive, wide-ranging approach, aiming for a high academic standard throughout, and that the series is one that one would like to see in any serious library. (Aldershot: Ashgate, 1999 (1); 2002 (2).)
