Alexander Samson is Reader in Early Modern Studies at University College London
‘Informative, well illustrated and with plenty of rich detail, this
thought-provoking study dismantles many of the myths about Mary and
Philip and their joint reign as monarchs of England.’
Linda Porter, Literary Review
'This is a truly excellent revisionist study of the reign of Mary
I, and should be read by specialists and students so that
rehabilitation of Mary I can continue.'
Valerie Schutte, Royal Studies Journal
'On the level of close reading of texts to explore their meanings
and possible significance, this book is a triumph. Where other
scholars have shied away from exploring the Anglo-Spanish story due
to incomplete sources, Samson has found a way to get substantial
mileage from a range of legal, literary, and polemical documents to
show the intermixing and hybridity of English and Spanish culture
and politics during Mary and Philip’s reign.'
Freddy C. Domínguez, British Catholic History
