Reviews
“In this richly illustrated, well-written history, Jonathan Reid casts a bright light on the early decades of religious dissent in France. He offers a new appreciation of the role played by Marguerite de Navarre and a cast of players he calls “the Navarrian network” in efforts to establish religious reform in France and beyond. […] King’s Sister shows that the dissimulation Calvin viewed as hypocrisy was, all along, a strategy of the Navarrian network, one that allowed them to survive and work clandestinely for reform. If they failed, it was not for lack of trying. […] This summary cannot do justice to the wealth of sources and the insightful use of them that Reid brings to this argument. His book is a major contribution.”
Mary B. McKinley, University of Virginia. In: Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. 42, No. 2 (2011), pp. 498-500.
"This is an important book for French Reformation history, fleshing out a domain of evangelical activities which has until now remained poorly articulated. Reid's two-volume monograph brings together a wealth of sources and scholarship in a new and persuasive analysis of early reform activities and writing under Marguerite de Navarre's patronage and leadership. Reid interrogates each issue he covers in great depth, footnotes indicating the full extent of his impressive research, but his arguments are presented in a highly engaging manner, making this a text potentially suitable for classroom use and scholars alike."
Susan Broomhall, The University of Western Australia. In: H-France Review, Vol. 10 (July 2010), pp. 404-407.
“This is a scholarly work, fluently written and clearly organised, with extensive footnotes. In addition, the reader is immediately struck by its handsome presentation […], which does credit to the press as well as to the author.”
Penny Roberts, University of Warwick. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 63, No. 2 (April 2012), pp. 404-405.
"une contribution d’érudition digne du protagoniste qui en forme le principal sujet, une œuvre magistrale que tout spécialiste de Marguerite de Navarre ou du fait religieux du XVIe siècle se devra de lire."
