This stimulating, future-oriented collection clarifies a distinctively European perspective now emerging in the humanities. The critical sophistication of the approach to social relevance, the articulation of close connections with the social, physical and medical sciences, and the alertness to differences in the cultural situations, institutional settings, and the mediating languages and technologies of humanistic knowledge, will do much to sharpen understanding and encourage collaboration in Europe and beyond. --Helen Small, University of Oxford
