Reviews

In his analysis of the querelle and throughout his discussion of the Society of Antiquaries, Heringman is acutely attentive to status ambiguity and inversion. * Jonathan Sachs, European Romantic Review * Heringman seeks to reclaim antiquarianism and its objects as precursors to and generative sources of modern knowledge production in its earliest iterations of professionalism. Erudite, comprehensive, and meticulously documented. * H. Doss, Wilbur Wright College, City Colleges of Chicago, CHOICE * Rather than unify elitism and populism (as well as the other differends, or irreconcilable discursive positions, that this classism encrypts) into the nationalist narratives currently being redeployed by culture industries across the globe, Sciences of Antiquity embodies the critical historiography needful to thinking populations. * Joshua David Gonsalves, Studies in Romanticism *
