‘The essays in this volume not only demonstrate the relevance of Braudel’s historical approach after the cultural, linguistic turn in historiography; but also provide interested historians vital research questions at the frontier of these fields.’- Seven Agir (Eh-Net: February 2011) “A fitting testament to Braudel’s breadth and width of interests.”- Maria Fusaro (European History Quarterly) “The richness and innovation of these ‘histories in’ the cultural life of the early modern Mediterranean are a provocation to future researches in the field and a demonstration of the possibilities inherent in a cultural history ‘of’ the Mediterranean.”- Monique O'Connell (Journal of Modern History) “An intellectual effort to rethink the place of Braudel in the broader context of history and humanities, allowing us to rediscover the extent and significance of this work for contemporary scholarship.”- Marijan Gubic (Mediterranean Quarterly)
