Recenzje

This rewarding new volume offers both the casual visitor into law and humanities scholarship, as well as the dedicated scholar, fascinating opportunities to examine cutting edge research. It would be hard to come away from even a brief dip into the Handbook without becoming inspired to explore more of its many creative approaches and ideas further. Quite simply, this volume makes clear that Law and Humanities research is thriving [...] These well-established authors hail from a range of disciplines and often exhibit mastery of several disciplines simultaneously [... T]hese essays give the reader a sense of a shared sensibilityDLone that is open-minded and comparative, often historical, invariably careful and nuanced, and, in its most successful versions, productively synthetic, thoughtful, and creative.
