R. L. Trask
'Larry Trask has written a handbook on the history of Basque which
is both thorough and scholarly. The final chapter, Connections with
Other Languages is a classic of modern linguistic literature upon
which alone one could justify erecting a monument to act as centre
piece in a linguistic hall of fame. Larry Trask deserves our
respect and gratitude for producing this magnificent volume. A
History of Basque fills an important gap in English language
vasconic literature as well as providing a stunning example of how
good work can be done.' - Paul Sidwell, University of Melbourne
'Over the last few years Lary Task has been indefatigably
publishing a series of superb student handbooks; but his special
interest is the Basque language, past and present, and this huge
History of Basque is the result of many careful years of detailed
investigation.... This is thus a genuinely comprehensive account of
a subject that has been much in need of one, presented in a style
that is accurate and intelligible and reader-friendly, and it can
hardly be praised too highly. - Bulletin of Hispanic Studies 75 98
