Recenzje

"This is an ambitious, engaged and erudite incursion into orientalism and related matters. It will add to critical debate in various fields, ranging from historiography to literary criticism." (Dr. Tabish Khair, novelist, associate professor, Aarhus University)

"This study contributes to research on medievalism in a very original manner: it links the distant past (medieval) with the not-so-distant Orientalism (the nineteenth and early twentieth-century one) and then with present-day culture. Liliana Sikorska writes her book with the intention of re-historicizing the Occident and inscribes her study into the recent debates on political medievalism. Her erudite analysis, complemented with copious references, throws some new light on postmedieval medievalisms that are rarely discussed in the study of medievalism." (Professor Anna Czarnowus, University of Silesia)
