| Abstract |
"All the articles in this volume have been inspired by the life and the work of Elisabeth van Houts. All are in one way or another reflections on the book's chosen title and of her remarkable range of interests and sympathies. In assembling the group of scholars who have written these essays, the editors are profoundly aware that Liesbeth has influenced so many people as friends, colleagues, and students. We hope that all will regard this volume as an appropriate tribute to her"-- Provided by publisher. |
