The Play of Paradox

"Crockett's approach is intelligently cross-disciplinary, and he gives one entire confidence in his command of the relevant fields: Calvinist theology, the Elizabethan sermon, the drama, polemicism, ecclesiastical history. He is very learned, and has a fine feeling for language. This is an unusually well written and delightful book." ~David Bevington, University of Chicago

"Crockett's informed and enlightening consideration of literature, theology, and culture should find an interested audience of scholars, teachers, and students, and the book is indeed a welcome contribution to interdisciplinary early modern studies." ~Sixteenth Century Journal
