Review # 1 was written on 2020-12-23 00:00:00 Steve Stewart I read this for a Renaissance Discoveries literature class (minus the Europe section), and like most subfield-specific and yet wide-ranging-within-the-subfield anthologies of its kind, I think it's probably as good as the professor teaching the class it's assigned in and the surrounding syllabus. I definitely appreciated having a professor who added historical context in fun digressions and assigned more recent scholarship to layer over these primary sources. On its own, I doubt it would've functioned so well, but it worked situationally.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-06-16 00:00:00 Robert Bombace Not a great anthology, since all but one or two pieces in it are heavily abridged
