Books By Alexandra Da Costa - Author

Alexandra da Costa is a Senior University Lecturer at the Faculty of English in Cambridge. Her research primarily focuses on early printed books meant for an English readership and late fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century religious culture. Her previous book, Reforming Printing: Syon Abbey's Defence of Orthodoxy 1524-1535 (OUP, 2012) examined the printed books that Syon Abbey sponsored in the turbulent 1530s, when the Church in England was threatened by both the spread of Lutheran heresy and Henry VIII's desire for greater ecclesiastical control.
