"Not only have the three editors assembled a collection of essays previously unavailable as a set but have also produced an accessible and rigorous translation of the texts. Last but not least, they have finally provided (at least for non-Hungarian readers) what was always missing in the excessively cursory discussions of Szűcs’s work: context. This is no minor achievement. Szűcs’s oeuvre deserves a much wider audience and a much wider discussion. It is up to non-Hungarian historians to take up the challenge."https://scholar.google.com/scholar_url?url=https://ojs.elte.hu/hsce/article/download/5433/5300&hl=hu&sa=X&d=9641245107997327584&ei=t1fLZOzQOcizywTom4uICg&scisig=AFWwaebCxyeyKgmWXoli6khHgc0k&oi=scholaralrt&html=&pos=0&folt=kw
