Recensioner i media

What emerges in this fifteen-essay collection (plus introduction) is a nuanced picture of the influence of other writers, thinkers, and political actors on Schreiner and the influence of Schreiner on others. [...] It is a treasure trove of original research and sharp readings, emphasizing cross-cultural exchange that I would unreservedly encourage any Schreiner scholar to explore.
