Review Quotes:
'This edited volume is a valuable contribution to early modern translation studies; it opens this neglected tragicomedy to new audiences, offers an erudite consideration of Mabbe's text and its place within a complex web of literary and cultural exchange, and lays a solid foundation for future scholarship on La Celestina and The Spanish Bawd.' -- Edel Semple, Renaissance Quarterly 68, 2015, 1488-89
'Required reading for anyone with an interest in Mabbe and early Stuart Hispanism ... Pérez's edition of The Spanish Bawd is the authoritative edition, the one I think scholars of the period will most want to have on their bookshelves.' -- John R. Yamamoto-Wilson, Translation and Literature 24, 2015, 99-103
'This MHRA edition, modernized for accessibility, offers an excellent point of entry to both early modern Spanish literature and renaissance translation.' -- unsigned notice, Forum for Modern Language Studies 51, 2015, 231
