In The Politics of Print During the French Wars of Religion, Gregory Haake examines how, in late sixteenth-century France, authors and publishers used the printed text to control the terms of public discourse and determine history, or at least their narrative of it.
"The strength of this book lies in its effort to solve three thorny problems: the first, to treat Vernon Sullivan seriously and in its entirety; the second to tackle heteronymy–a notion mainly developed on behalf of Pessoa; the third to create a new operational typology to study hoaxes, plagiarism, hoax… Behind this study lies an assertive ontological position: the figure of the author understood as an entity independent of the writer. This duplication of the author opens up many research perspectives, and in the first place a reassessment of the traditional author / narrator couple." - Cecile Pajona (Universite Cote d'Azur), H-France Review Vol. 21 (January 2021), No. 1.
