Reviews for Authoring the Past
"An original and important work, based on solid research and an impressively sophisticated methodological approach. Jaume Aurell's analysis of medieval historical genres will be an excellent vehicle for bringing the rich Catalan literary tradition to the attention of scholars in the English-speaking world." (Brian Catlos, University of Colorado at Boulder and University of California, Santa Cruz)"
