Review of Confessions of Faith in Early Modern England, Brooke Conti

What is it about?

A review of In her new book Confessions of Faith in Early Modern England, Brooke Conti calls explicit attention to the word 'inanimate', but has to explain that it also meant “quicken” or “infuse with life.” This double meaning might have been very useful to her argument, since she proposes that what she calls “confessions of faith” often say two opposite things at the same time, usually revealing and concealing some personal truth in the light of the tempestuous political situation.
