Recenzje

'The Experience of Education is elegantly written and rigorously researched. Its new takes on much-studied texts will revitalize scholarly discussions … No doubt those studying these individual works, their respective genres, Old English and Latin literature, educational history, or monastic culture will have much to learn about learning from Dumitrescu's monograph.' Laura Saetveit Miles, Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen
