The history of the humanities is one of perpetual negotiation between social embeddedness and scientific autonomy. In an age increasingly understood as post-national, this volume in honour of Walter Veit brings together 48 studies from Europe, the USA, Asia and Australia which seek to navigate the transformed conditions of historical and philological enquiry.
