'The value of these volumes lies in the fact that they lend themselves to a different kind of browsing from a search engine, which requires you to ask the right question in order to get what you already know you want. Reading through the pages of the Berger-Massai collection is like reading an anthology of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century writing chosen, not for its quality, but simply because it happens to be part of a playbook ... There is much to please readers who didn't know they wanted it until they read it.' Lois Potter, The Times Literary Supplement<br />'[An] immensely useful book ... Berger and Massai's work will be widely used for generations.' Zachary Lesser, Shakespeare Quarterly<br />'Berger and Massai's anthology provides a much-needed source in a rapidly expanding field without which a full appreciation of paratexts would not be possible. It is an admirable feat and will remain a solid source of information.' Jitka Stollova, Cambridge Quarterly
