Socialising the Child in Late Medieval England, c. 1400-1600
A very useable overview and well-thought-out interpretation of a large corpus of texts very important to the history of English literature and elite culture.

AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW
[The author's] comprehensive research provides a foundation for future scholars to work in a rich field that rewards close analysis.
MEDIUM AEVUM
Offers important new ways of understanding the construction of late medieval and early modern society from childhood into adulthood.
PARERGON
An important study of continuities and shifts in the literature that shaped children and attitudes toward children and young people in Late Medieval and sixteenth-century England.
CHILDHOOD IN THE PAST
[M]akes a number of significant contributions to the existing historiography. [...] a well-researched and thoughtfully argued monograph which I hope receives significant attention from social and cultural historians of late medieval and early modern England.
