Итог:There is currently an explosion of ‘handbooks’, ‘companions’, and ‘dictionaries’, all designed to help scholars negotiate their way around both familiar and unfamiliar territory. It can be hard to know exactly what these volumes are for and who, precisely, they are aimed at. The rationale offered for this handbook, that it is responding to an explosion of research in a burgeoning, interdisciplinary field, where it is impossible for one single scholar to be an expert in all areas, seems eminently reasonable. As to audience, the handbook presents itself as ‘an aid to research both for beginners and for more seasoned scholars entering an unfamiliar sub-speciality’ (p. 2).
