Reviews

“This is potentially a groundbreaking publication as it is the first sustained attempt to promote the idea of ‘textual heritage’ as a separate category of heritage. It has long been felt that texts and their immense importance for cultural identities and long-term cultural memory have been left out of heritage studies as they do not belong to tangible nor intangible heritage as defined and practised by UNESCO.” • Lars Boje Mortensen, University of Southern Denmark
