Anna Jordanous believes this book's strengths lie in its contextual diversity and in the thoroughness of the compilation and usage of reference sources (no. 1682, with response here). >> >> >> Next up is Elizabeth Vandiver's Stand in the Trench, Achilles: Classical Receptions in British Poetry of the Great War, which Marguerite Johnson recommends as a truly successful interdisciplinary achievement (no. 1681). >> >> >> Then we turn to Murder Most Russian: True Crime and Punishment in Late Imperial Russia by Louise McReynolds. James Ryan and the author discuss a very significant contribution to the study of modern Russian history (no. 1680). >> >> >> Finally we have Joanna Cannon's Religious Poverty, Visual Riches: Art in the Dominican Churches of Central Italy in the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Centuries, which Michael Morris finds to be delightfully inquisitive while maintaining a respectful attitude toward religious Orders (no. 1679). >> >> You can also search and browse all 1682 reviews here – do please let me know if you have any problem navigating the site or finding what you’re interested in. >> >> >> >> Remember as well to check us out on Twitter - https://twitter.com/ReviewsHistory, and as ever, do please make sure to send all comments or suggestions to [log in to unmask], and, if you no longer wish to receive emails from Reviews in History, let me know and I will unsubscribe you immediately. >> >> >> >> Best wishes >> >> >> >> Danny >> >> >> >> Danny Millum >> >> Deputy Editor, Reviews in History / Editorial Assistant (Web) >> >> Institute of Historical Research >> >> University of London >> >> Senate House >> >> Malet Street >> >> LONDON WC1E 7HU >> >> t: +44 (0)20 7862 8812 >> >> f: +44 (0)20 7862 8754 >> >> e: [log in to unmask] >> >> >> >> Web: www.history.ac.uk >> >> >> >> <image001.jpg> >> ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: unsubscribe medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/medieval-religion
