Afterthoughts
Sanjay Subrahmanyam

No one has written such a book, and the book’s raison d’être is wholly warranted. The essays together are intriguing. They make important points—collectively a very important historiographical point—and they highlight for scholars the importance of such work and its potential for extension.

—David Hancock, University of Michigan

Wide-ranging, well-written, it fills in the historiographical background, summarizes the problems and possibilities. This is an exciting project.

—Peter Burke, Emmanuel College of the University of Cambridge
