[…] a collection of ten papers that approach the complex question
of antiquarianism in a variety of ways.
*Antiquity*
Antiquarianisms is a significant contribution to current
scholarship on antiquarian traditions. Not only does the volume add
to Schnapp’s blueprint for comparing varying antiquarian practices,
it also challenges its own goals and asks the reader to do the same
in existing and future scholarship.
*Bryn Mawr Classical Review*
...a demonstration of the historical dynamism within two discrete
locales of antiquarian endeavour is very welcome, particularly as
it underscores an important truth: that antiquarianism can provide
a more conducive space to explore, in concert with people who are
not specialists, the diverse connections between past and
present.
