Rezensionen

"Palgrave's The New Middle Ages series puts out thought-provoking and theoretically timely books. Holley's book, too, fulfills that mission . . . Not only is Holley's book thought-provoking in terms of the relation or struggle between reason and imagination and its gaps, but also it suggests that the gaps between the 'modern' and the 'medieval' are not as wide as we think." - The Medieval Review
