'Fred Inglis's biography is useful and charming. It is useful
because it contains so many facts, and because it is perhaps the
most detailed intellectual analysis of Geertz's work now
available.' Times Literary Supplement
'Inglis has done a masterful job reviewing some of the
highlights of Geertz's career and showing how they fit together in
a meaningful trajectory.' Choice
'Clifford Geertz is priviledged; he is the first and only
anthropologist in the prestigious Key Contemporary Thinkers series
... There is probably no better intellectiual biographer to present
Clifford Geertz than Fred Inglis ... For anyone who wants to get
into Geertz's head and have a succinct, lively and entertaining
account of his work, then Inglis is required reading.' Social
Anthropology
''Considerable depth of analysis and insight' Journal
of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and
Ireland
"It will certainly become a standard reference on the work of this great anthropologist" Paul Shankman, University of Colorado-Boulder. Anthropological Forum 13(1), 2003<!--end-->
