'This is an acute, scrupulous, and at times disturbing analysis of
the Overbury affair.' - Charles Nicholl, Times Literary
Supplement
'His interdisciplinary approach, the new questions he has asked of
family sources, and his recovery of neglected ones combine to make
The Trials of Frances Howard the most stimulating and scholarly
study yet published in the Overbury scandal.' - Alastair Bellany,
The Huntingdon Library Quarterly
'By laying out for us the comment on one extraordinary woman
[Lindley] sheds brilliant light how all women were perceived in
early modern England.' - Diarmaid MacCulloch, New Statesman
'A spendid piece of cultural history, subtle, scholarly and very
well written.' - The Observer
