Dyfyniadau
'One notable characteristic of this volume is its consistent engagement with key methodological and interpretative concerns. All of the essays show clear signs of participation in a coherent critical conversation; it is refreshing, and a credit to the editors, to see this degree of conceptual as well as topical coherence in a collection of essays.' Modern Language Review '...fascinating and scholarly volume, well presented...a must for all libraries.' Analecta Cartusiana
