Rezensionen

"Fischer's work is interesting, original, and persuasively argued. It is based on an exceptionally close and careful reading of texts, and makes a significant contribution to our understanding of an important, and still controversial, subject." -Professor Jack Jacobs, John Jay College and the Graduate Center, the City University of New York
