‘The volume provides an excellent tour de force through both the history of the ECtHR as well as the Court's dealing with histories in its case law. It poses questions to the core of the self-understanding, not only of the ECtHR but also for the legal and political scholarship on the Court. The multiplicity of voices assembled by the editors provide a rich and nuanced analysis, which does not fall into the trap of nostalgia but highlights the complex contexts in which the Court has, continues, and will operate in the future.’
