«
'Rebel Angels is an ambitious book that traces the many dynamic reinterpretations of theangelic rebellion story. Fitzgerald’s nuanced approach to her subject’s many complexities, together with the attention given to the texts’ historical circumstances, makes a persuasive argument for the influence of the fall of the angels narrative in the literary imagination of early English authors. This is a thought-provoking book that will prove an inspiration to its careful reader.’

'Rebel Angels is a fantastic resource collating stories of angelic rebellion in early medieval England... Fitzgerald’s work opens the door for future studies that more fully explore the interaction of sovereignty and space in early England.'
