Reviews

'Spencer's study is an excellent illumination of key concepts of Herder's thinking... It makes a major contribution to our better understanding of a key eighteenth-century figure whose wide-ranging intellectual achievement and contemporary relevance deserve a much broader English-speaking audience.' -- Ulrike Wagner German Quarterly winter 2013


'Spencer's Herder's Political Thought is an excellent survey of the political ideas of Johann Gottfried Herder... To see her grasp of Herder's ideas and their significance laid out in full at long last is a true delight... This is a fine book.' -- Russell Arben Fox The Review of Politics vol 75:04:2013 'Spencer has crafted a lucid, thorough reinterpretation of Johann Gottfried Herder's thought that highlights his distinctive contributions to the enlightenment, the Counter-Enlightenment and subsequent periods.' -- D.N Byrne Political Science vol 65:01:2013 'Spencer's study is an excellent illumination of key concepts of Herder's thinking... It makes a major contribution to our better understanding of a key eighteenth-century figure whose wide-ranging intellectual achievement and contemporary relevance deserve a much broader English-speaking audience.' -- Ulrike Wagner German Quarterly winter 2013
