Premodern Places
I don't ever put the books I read for (or to inspire me to write more of) my D-- here, but I had to make an exception for this work of Wallace's. Packed to the gills with historical detail, infused through and through with postcolonial theory, moving between several European languages and a creole, glimmering occasionally with an intimate insight, *Premodern Places* reads like a novel. I'd recommend it to any layperson who asks me What It is We Actually Do. Sure, it's not without problems, but I wasn't able to put it down. It even has pictures. Wallace shows quite well that we shouldn't divide medieval from what came afterwards. He can make an argument in one paragraph. And he'll convince you that Flanders is important for the Canterbury Tales.
