“A remarkable work. Each section is a gem of concision, stimulus and information, combining academic rigour with wit, common sense, and literary flair. An essential text, it will be unsurpassed-except perhaps by Duschinsky himself-for the foreseeable future” – Jeremy Holmes, Visiting Professor, University of Exeter, UK
