For those familiar with the scholarship of Margaret Spufford,
Faith, Place and People in Early Modern England is a sublime paean
commemorating her contributions to the field of social and economic
history. This compilation of essays, many written by former
students and colleagues of Spufford, not only displays the
influence she had on those around her, but also demonstrates the
ongoing impact she continues to exert in the study of early modern
history. * H-NET *
The collection as a whole is well produced and nicely illustrated.
The essays are interesting and of a consistently high academic
quality. -- Jonathan Healey * Journal of British Studies *
