Reviews
[U]n ouvrage agreable a lire et a regarder, une synthese intelligente qui merite attention! * CAHIERS DE CIVILISATION MEDIEVALE *
Engaging and groundbreaking. [...] Ultimately this work traverses languages, genres, and historical periods, and - much like the sea itself - it opens up many trajectories for future exploration. * SPECULUM *
Sobecki's impressive range of languages is worthy of mention, as is his clear and eminently readable prose. [...] this book offers a valuable range of impressions in its readings of the sea in medieval English literature, as well as an excellent survey of the theme as a whole. * MEDIUM AEVUM *
The author is original both in his approach to early English, Latin, and French texts and in his intellectual adventurousness. [...] This book hence reveals uncommon intellectual curiosity. One looks forward to Sobecki's future work. * MODERN LANGUAGE REVIEW *
