Reviews

A collection of fine scholarly essays and also an intensely personal tribute to a much-admired scholar ... This excellent collection of essays both celebrates and demonstrates the network of scholarship that has given us a continually renewed understanding of medieval texts and their afterlife.'

Graham Tulloch, Parergon - Journal of the Australian and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, volume 29.2 (2012).

Readers of In Strange Countries will value it differently depending on their points of invested
contact with individual chapters. The best of these reach an unimpeachable standard
of scholarship and will influence specialist conversation in their fields.
