“My Cinderella prize for the year’s most underrated
book goes to David Wallace, whose Premodern Places
mixes romance and bizarrerie in a study of medieval and Renaissance
ideas about geography and locality.” Jonathan
Keates, The Spectator 'Book of the Year' feature,
2004
“This is one of the sharpest and most imaginative books of
literary criticism I've read in many years.” Peter
Hulme, University of Essex
“Offering illuminating genealogies for a range of authors
and literary texts, Premodern Places radically questions
many assumptions about historical as well as geographic boundaries.
… this book asks both premodernists and postcolonialists to
rethink their disciplines and make urgent connections across space
and time.” Ania Loomba, University of
Pennsylvania
“… a most brilliant representative of Postcolonial Medieval Studies.” José Rabasa, University of California
