Reviews

'Jaume Aurell's book on the emergence, meaning, and cultural position of works of history that are considered, or at least colloquially referred to as, classics is not going to compete with any other book on this topic because there aren't any others. What Is a Classic in History? maps out the entire terrain, chronologically and thematically, of a new specialized field.' Nancy Partner, Professor of History Emeritus, McGill University 'What Is a Classic in History? makes a strong case for seeing canonicity in works of history as something liquid and protean, with works and even entire genres falling out of or into favour.' Daniel Woolf, Professor of History, Queen's University
