Alexander Samson, Reader in Early Modern Studies, University College London:

"The English Reformation in the Spanish Imagination is an immensely valuable and original piece of research that will make a significant contribution to the field. Deborah R. Forteza’s argument is based on a solid understanding and knowledge of all the relevant sources. This book will appeal to historians of the period and literary scholars, in particular those specializing in Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Calderón, and religious history."

Freddy C. Dominguez, Assistant Professor of History, University of Arkansas Fayetteville:

"Forteza helps pave new scholarly paths. This is a well-researched, sophisticated account of the ways in which England existed within the Spanish imagination. There are few books like it and none as incisive."
