"Interrogating the 'Germanic' provides a starting point. It is not
comprehensive, and does not offer a definitive answer as to what we
should do with the term 'Germanic'. It is, however, one of the most
important volumes published in the twenty-first century and should
be read by all scholars working on the European early Middle Ages.
It will, hopefully, lead to more careful enquiries into the
past."
Richard Broome, in: sehepunkte. Rezensionsjournal f�r die
Geschichtswissenschaften, http:
//www.sehepunkte.de/2021/05/35088.html. "Rather than attempting to
create a one-size-fits-all rule going forward, the collective
contributions acknowledge the problem's complexity and provide the
reader with a variety of tools to find their own way through a
thorny, and ever-relevant, question. This will be a useful volume
for both specialists and those outside the field, and for those
wanting a better understanding of interdisciplinary
approaches."
Erica Buchberger, in: The English Historical Review, 2022 "Readers
with a linguistic background can use these contributions to get a
good sense of recent developments in adjacent fields--useful since
the go-to linguistic textbooks on early Germanic languages
frequently present a somewhat outdated picture of the state of the
art in these disciplines."
George Walkden, in: Journal of Germanic Linguistics 34.4 (2022), p.
420-427 "This is an excellent collection of papers that contend
with a complicated historiographical topic. For late Roman and
early medieval scholars at any point in their careers, this text
lays out information carefully and clearly, and helpfully, it
provides a sense of the questions the discipline might be asking in
the future."
Timothy Scott in: Journal of the Australian Early Medieval
Association, 18 (2022), p. 227-229
