Synopsis

This volume presents essays from eight scholars who trained with Robert Kingdon, a vanguard of early modern studies. He required students to go to primary sources, yet they were free to pursue their own curiosity. No matter what their approach to the sources, students were held to a high standard of thoroughness, precision, and attention to detail. This festschrift displays something of the diversity of language, source materials, methods, and visions that Kingdon encouraged in his students during his forty-year career in graduate education.

About this title

Review:

"There is probably no better gift that can be made to a teacher than to document the flourishing of the seeds he planted.... Every single contribution in History Has Many Voices is eminently readable, and thus conveys also to nonspecialists a good insight into various matters. Within the particular genre of the Festschrift, this is a distinctive quality that merits attention."

--Sixteenth Century Journal
