Guangdong Tushuguan Xuehui Sishi Nian (The Guangdong Library Association: 40 Years) (review)

Abstract

Anderson provides. And yet, since readers have managed so long without such a study as this, Anderson ought to have at least attempted to argue for the significance of his work for early American studies or the field of book history. Rarely can a scholar so thoroughly resituate such a foundational work as William Bradford’s history as Anderson does here. Yet a scholar capable of such work ought also to be able to situate his own work and clarify its key contributions.
