In this ground-clearing study, Gaunt cuts through thickets of scholarship, much of it obfuscatory, to bring us a fresh vision... Its insights make it indispensable to any future study of Marco Polo. * MEDIEVAL REVIEW *
Simon Gaunt's scholarship in this book is, in a word closely associated with his subject, a marvel. Astute and entertaining [his book] thoroughly merits a place in the medievalist's library. * COMITATUS *
[This] excellent study of Marco Polo's Devisement du monde provides both an introduction to controversies and complexities that have beset the study of this text in modern times, and an analysis of key aspects of the text. ... [It is] a valuable contribution to the study of Marco Polo specifically, and, more generally, of medieval concepts of linguistic, religious, and cultural alterity, and of European fantasies and knowledge of the Far East. * MEDIUM AEVUM *
