Abstract

literature, Wemheuer sometimes leaves the targets of his criticism unnamed (p. ). He also sometimes relies on German-language sources when good English alternatives (or, in one case, the original French source) are available. The book is wonderfully balanced, but sometimes (e.g. p. ) the search for nuance blunts the force of the argument. Yet, on the whole, the book is a remarkable achievement.
