“A monumental achievement that will be valuable to scholars and general readers interested in Judaism, religion, and art history.”—starred review, Library Journal
“Creole is revelatory. This book will be important for the field of art history, and it will set a new standard for research and analysis in nineteenth-century French art, where it will be canonical.”—Nancy Locke, author of Manet and the Family Romance
“This collection synthesizes key issues of scholarly annotation for the first time, not by providing a single definitive set of rules and procedures but by setting out the broad spectrum of considerations that should be in the minds of editors (and publishers). It is by far the most comprehensive treatment of these issues to date and thus fills a long-felt want.”
—Pat Rogers, author of Pope and the Destiny of the Stuarts: History, Politics, and Mythology in the Age of Queen Anne
“An important, interesting, and thorough contribution to our knowledge of stereotyping and electrotyping and the history of their industrial implementation and economic impact in America. Publishing Plates contains extensive references to original sources, comprehensive narrative histories of the Carey company and the American Bible Society, and fascinating anecdotes that flesh out the importance of stereotyping and electrotyping.”
—Peter Shillingsburg, author of Textuality and Knowledge: Essays
Medical Anthropology Quarterly calls Deborah Nadal’s Rabies in the Streets “a truly original book and a fascinating read.”
