Reviews

'A comprehensive anthology, carefully researched. It has the considerable merit of making available in English translation authors who have never been translated at all, and/or whose work can be easily found only by professional scholars. There is nothing quite like this book on the market. ' Mary Lefkowitz, Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities, Wellesley College
