Reviews

Leigh Penman's beautifully written book traces the long forgotten roots and fascinating history of a concept that has become essential to our vocabulary. Along the way, he reveals several surprising twists and turns that make the book not only erudite but a very enjoyable read. * Helena Rosenblatt, Professor of History and French, City University of New York, USA *
