Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book will be the first text that critically synthesises and makes accessible Harvey's voluminous and influential literature. Authors are well placed to guide us through Harvey's large and complex theoretical corpus with careful contextualization and assessment, all in relatively accessible and clear prose. While there are many papers and chapters about Harvey's writings, most focus on one or other aspect of them and do not paint a more complete picture.
