“Identity, Intertextuality, and Performance in Early Modern Song Culture is a welcome addition to our knowledge of the arena of communication in early modern Europe. The book is a groundbreaking foray into a very promising field.” - Daniele V. Filippi, University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Northwestern Switzerland and Academy of Music, Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, in: Journal of Jesuit Studies, Vol. 4, No. 3 (2017), pp. 511-513 [DOI: 10.1163/22141332-00403007-08]“Identity, Intertextuality, and Performance in Early Modern Song Culture celebrates excellent research on and compilation of early European songs. The collection never pretends to be exhaustive, however, for each chapter explains what further research could and should be done. For that reason, the book is incredibly significant to researchers who are looking not just for answer, but also for further questions.” - Deana Smid, Brandon University, Canada, in: Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. 49, No. 1 (Spring 2018), pp. 182-185
