`What is novel and exciting about Mary Vincent's book is that it is
the first social history of mobilization by the forces of the
right.'
Susan Tax Freeman, American Historical Review, Feb. 99.
`Why Nelken was right is graphically explained in Mary Vincent's
vivid account of the class dimension of female religiosity in her
wide-ranging study of Catholic society and politics in
Spain...Vincent's study is required reading...This is the best kind
of local study, casting its light far beyond the confines of the
area studied...Sharply and elegantly written, with frequent shafts
of wit and irony'
Times Higher Education Supplement
`Building her fascinating account from patchy and unpromising
source material, Dr Vincent successfully evokes and fairly explains
the Salmantine version of the traditional Catholic world-view and
... valuably details the work of the orders and laity in providing
schooling and social assistance when there were minimal secular
facilities ... well-written work enriched by vivid quotations.'
R.A.H. Robinson, University of Birmingham, History, Vol. 83, No.
