“It provides a thorough catalogue of the book and manuscript dedications to Mary, as well as the books in the queen’s personal library. … An eminently readable and accessible volume, this book is a valuable addition to the existing scholarship on Mary I. … The book also reveals a significant forum by which Mary was both offered instruction, and, in varying degrees, was able to negotiate patronage, politics, and religion.” (Anne Mearns, Royal Studies Journal, Vol. 4 (1), 2017)
