About the Author:
"The tracking of intellectual legacies across vast geographical and temporal expanses was a striking feature of reception studies received this year." -Jane Stabler, Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900
"A series of very thorough; well-written, well-researched essays are divided into major sections focusing on Germany and Northern Europe, Scandinavia, The Low Countries, Russia, Galicia, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Greece. Each essay examines not only Darwin's work, but also how it was adapted within the work of other authors. Extensive footnotes are included with each essay. Also included is an expansive timeline (1847-2009) recording the appearance of various translations, examinations, interpretations, and criticism of Darwin's work, as well as any commemorations and public events." --Martha Lawler, American Reference Books Annual
