Recenzje

The book will have wide-ranging appeal to students and academics. The material on popular texts such as Sir Orfeo and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight will be beneficial to undergraduates and the introduction offers an intelligent definition of key terminology and an assessment of challenges and assumptions that will be a useful model for graduate students. For scholars working on the otherworld, Byrne's book will be essential reading and, with its wealth of primary sources, will no doubt inspire further research and scholarship for years to come.
