Reviews

five sumptuous volumes, with over a hundred illustrations, some rare ... Years of research of the highest quality have produced an Elizabethan treasure trove.
*Brian Vickers, TLS Books of the Year 2015*

[An] astounding scholarly accomplishment. No cultural, historical, social, or economic investigator of Elizabeth's reign can proceed without the new Nichols.
*David M. Bergeron, Renaissance Quarterly*

[Provides] an unprecedented amount of data which extend far beyond the original collection ... Scholars are now put in a position to say, again, "it's in Nichols" - but one is not allowed to ask "which edition?" any more. It is the Oxford New Edition, no doubt about that
*Carlo M. Bajetta, Review of English Studies*

This is an outstanding edition ... It will quickly become the first port of call for those studying Elizabethan progresses, entertainments and court culture. It provides fascinating insights into the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century world of antiquarian studies and printing ... a superb resource for undergraduate dissertations.
*Natalie Mears, English Historical Review*
