‘This is a fine book that lives up to its beautiful packaging. Rhodes makes excellent use of artistic as well as literary evidence, incorporating carefully chosen illustrations into the body of her discussion… This new effort to read Zayas on her own terms can only enhance our experience of her texts. I applaud Elizabeth Rhodes for having the courage of her conviction.’ - Hilaire Kellendorf (Renaissance Quarterly; vol 65:03:2012) ‘Dressed to Kill is written in a lively and engaging style… This monograph makes a substantial contribution to Maria de Zayas’ works and more generally to the study of Golden-Age Spain; consequently it deserves to become a key reference point for future research.’ - Eavan O'Brien (Bulletin of Spanish Studies, vol 90:07:2013)
