"The 18 texts and the excellent overview in the introduction provide a range of fascinating angles for further reflection on comparative methods in historical studies. The emphasis on cross-disciplinary approaches is one of the major strengths of this volume, which will appeal not only to historians but also to scholars in other fields. The accessibility of key readings in English gives reason to hope for greater engagement with these intellectual traditions in the overarching fields of historical enquiry."https://www.comparativ.net/v2/issue/view/172
