“Stegner’s introduction neatly traces the gradual erasure of Catholic private auricular confession after the Reformation and how confession was reoriented by the Elizabethan settlement. … this wide-ranging study offers a timely appraisal of the relationship between memory, the penitential tradition, and early modern English literature.” (Rachel Willie, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 70 (1), 2017)
