"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
The book's exploration of premodern places features fascinating vignettes, such as an English merchant learning love songs in Calais, coupled with insights into broader economic narratives of political, technological, religious, and economic change. In particular, it provides long geneaologies of blackness and whiteness, race and slavery, in the premodern world.
