“The essays in Visions of Community offer beautifully nuanced analyses of the ways in which various types of institutional and social identifications intersected and supplemented one another in the premodern period.” -The Sixteenth Century Journal “The admirable objectives and themes announced in Howe’s introduction are met and illuminated. The malleable device of studying communities historically ways is done in model ways here.” -Renaissance Quarterly
