Book Reviews

The reviews you will find here are not standard academic reviews, but rather my notes on the works I'm reading. They will summarize the main argument of the book and highlight passages and analyses that are most closely related to my own research interests, so these will be by no means comprehensive. The first batch of reviews will come from a historiography syllabus for a class I'm taking during the Fall 2015 semester at Notre Dame.
