"In the course of examining the complex experiments with, and productions of wit during the period, O'Callaghan opens a space for scholars to further explore the ways in which literary texts correspond with the physical and social localities in which they were first produced." -Adam Kitzes, University of North Dakota, Renaissance Quarterly "Michelle O'Callaghan provides a strong contribution to making the old new again in her study...her work brilliantly succeeds precisely by making semiforgotten Jacobeans such as Thomas Coryat relevant to a much broader culture of wit." Catherine Gimelli Martin, University of Memphis, Studies in English Literature
