Frances Yates (reference article)

Wikipedia's article on Frances Yates, the historian known for her studies of Renaissance hermeticism and the occult philosophy tradition, is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for standard biographical facts such as her academic career and major works, and less reliable for evaluating the scholarly reception and later criticism of her hermetic thesis about the Renaissance, which specialists have both built on and revised. Use it for basic biography; a claim about the validity of her thesis needs a dedicated historiographical source.
