Review # 1 was written on 2017-09-14 00:00:00 Jimmie D King After reading Charles II, it was interesting to get this anthology of responses to the Interregnum and preceding Second English Civil War through popular "newsbooks" printed up of miraculous/ominous events ala The Book of Miracles (although this has nowhere near the pictures, just one per chapter). The average Englishman, it appears, was shaken to his core by the overthrow and execution of Charles I, cruelly abrogating his divine right and upsetting an assumed world order. In their confusion and fright, writers praised Royalist highwaymen, feared witches, extolled Fortean wonders, and excoriated spiritual anarchists like Adamites and Ranters.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-10-13 00:00:00 John Konopka The style in which this book is written is very conscientious and clear. This is a great introduction to critical linguistics as well as how to analyze news representation. Definitely recommended.
