Reviews

The true genius of this collection is in its Janusian perspective ... Tamburlaine: A Critical Reader serves as a concise but impressive review of Tamburlaine’s history in past decades, a time capsule recording the current state of the field, and an optimistic forecast of what we may see in decades to come.
