'This is a remarkable bookGoldberg introduces readers to a field of study that scarcely existed twenty years ago, surveys its scholarship and many of the major texts, says what he thinks still needs to be done, and ventures to do it himself. This is a fine study by a distinguished author at the top of his form.' David Riggs, Stanford University
