Reviews
Fresh and topical. At his best - and these essays show him at his best - Collini is one of the sharpest observers and most mordant critics in English academic life., 'English pasts succeeds. Its form is improvisatory, its subjects are other people's books, but its thematic unity is the product of a creative and refined critical intelligence. There is a revealing sense of the ambiguities of the past and the complexities of historical values. Above all there is an ability to read other historians' work, and to perceive wider meanings whilst locating it within a grander intellectual vision'The Historical Journal, Vol.44'Throughout there remains a freshness and richness of historical reference which delights and engages' The Historical Journal, Vol.44'Collini is serious but never solemn ... Not that he settle for 'the robustly plain-man style' as an alternative to academic pompostity. His lightness of touch is like throwing open the windows after the fug of cultural theory since Raymond Williams.'David Gervais, The Cambridge Quarterly, Vol. 30'Collini's public celebration of the under-appreciated scholarship of editors and annotators is a service to the humanities.'Canadian Journal of History'With English Pasts ... he has collected, combined, and expanded a number of reviews into sixteen essays which display the distinctive concerns, and exhuberant wit, he brings to the subjects of intellectual culture and of academic life.'Canadian Journal of History'Collini is a notably talented essayist and reviewer.'Canadian Journal of History'what he writes best about is intellectual imposture, which he skewers again and again in the pages of this coruscating collection ...
