The collection concludes with a reaction to the debate by Darnton himself. Not all the contributors are pro-Darnton enthusiasts, and the volume is far more than just a tribute to the work of a great scholar. It offers thoughtful reflections on, and a vigorous critical engagement with, the way Darnton addresses the past.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eModern Language Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of illustrations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eD.F McKenzie, Trading places?
