Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"A History of Ambiguity is unambiguously wonderful – the sort of book I thought no one could write any more . . . Ossa-Richardson’s book is an epic love song to scholarship . . . . it’s well written and intelligently funny. Ossa-Richardson has the big picture in mind."---Robert Eaglestone, Times Higher Education
"Ossa-Richardson demonstrates his mastery of the two classic attributes of the intellectual historian: first, a willingness to do justice to the variety of forms that ideas can take, and second, a close attention to detail in the establishment of intellectual genealogies. As a work of intellectual history, this book is a remarkable achievement."---James Everest, Essays in Criticism
