"An impressive achievement. <i>Books of Secrets</i> brings together realms too often left disparate in contemporary scholarship: gender studies, history of science, and book history. It is fascinating how Kavey deftly traces fungible notions of agency across various materials and explanations, and this refusal to settle for easy answers is one of the book's many virtues. The answers it gives are all the more profound, and persuasive, for the effort." <br />--<b>Michael Schoenfeldt</b>, author of <i>Bodies and Selves in Early Modern England</i>
<p>Kavey's book is an excellent entrée into this class of writings and provides many insights into how they were constructed."--<i>Renaissance Quarterly</i></p>
