Orest's "time" at Panat

As retirement approached (at the end of June 1999), I declined requests to evaluate article and book typescripts. I felt I needed the time to read what really is of interest to me. The need to keep abreast of current research in all fields of Early Modern French history is of less importance.

I have always enjoyed talking about new books and articles with my friends. Now that I have the time, why not formalize this just a bit? The scholarly ways of Early Moderns — the affective ties, disputes and informal communication by letter and short article — have always appealed to me. Contemporary word-processing and inexpensive printing make what follows possible.

My pages are sorted into three categories:

Orest's Reviews        Orest's articles and syllabi        Visitors' reviews
