"One of the precise contributions of this excellent book is to vividly and rigorously render the echoes of sixteenth and early-seventeenth century events in numerous learned letters. At the same time the authors provide some very enlightening analyses on the process of confessionalisation and its relationship to humanism."
Catherine Secretan, BMGN - Low Countries Historical Review, Volume 128-2 (2013), review 35

"This volume of essays provides a timely and valuable addition to scholarship on learned correspondence in the early modern period and is a very useful complement to the significant number of collections of letters now available online."
Chris Joby, De Zeventiende Eeuw 28 (2012) 1,109-110

"Between Scylla and Charybdis offers an impressively learned but lively, readable, and often moving depiction of how confessionalization impacted scholarly individuals, families, networks, and institutions as well as the relations of church and state in Early Modern Europe."
Judith Rice Henderson, The University of Saskatchewan

"The many case studies collected here render the volume interesting to students of humanist culture of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, especially in the Netherlands, the Holy Roman Empire, England, and France.
