is like the present, although the past always appears a pale imitation, and this implied linearity can seem like an unyielding march forward in time. What if earlier narrative forms are not imperfect articulations of the future but expressive of a distinct vision of reality and thus of life writing? In other words, what if medieval life writing was experimental on its own terms? My questions mean that I would have liked the book to demonstrate a more complex choreography between the past and present, which would have complemented Winstead’s insistence upon genre instability in lifewriting modes, regardless of time period. Still, this book is part of a series that aims to survey bodies of literature defined by literary time periods, which necessarily constrains Winstead’s arguments. More than once, for instance, she observes that the twelfth century proves a pivotal century when life writing transforms in one way or another, yet she does not explain why such transformations occur in that century as that is beyond the book’s purview. A survey, after all, observes, yet it does not necessarily explain what it details. In that sense, Winstead’s book is importantly productive: she opens lines of thinking about the literary history of life writing that invite readers to explore more, to pick up a line of thought and develop it. She ultimately has crafted a highly readable book that not only demonstrates the range of life writing during the long Middle Ages but also activates challenging and constructive questions about genre and its social role.

As a final note, I would like to add that as a Brazilian, I would have personally liked to see a chapter on narratives dealing with the Brazilian military dictatorship (1964–1985), such as Maria Pilla’s Volto Semana que Vem (2015) or Maria Lúcia Resende Garcia’s Geração 60: Geração Esperança (2003). Understandably it is difficult to cover all contexts in one volume, but works focused on Latin America tend to overlook Brazil, and this is unfortunately the case here.
最后，我想补充一点，作为一个巴西人，我个人希望看到有一章是关于巴西军事独裁(1964-1985)的叙事，比如玛丽亚·皮拉(Maria Pilla)的《Volto Semana que Vem》(2015)或玛丽亚·Lúcia雷森德·加西亚(Maria Resende Garcia)的《gera 60: gera o esperan》(2003)。可以理解的是，很难在一卷书中涵盖所有的背景，但专注于拉丁美洲的作品往往会忽视巴西，不幸的是，这就是本书的情况。

Indian Travel Writing in the Age of Empire, 1830–1940 enriches the scholarship on the field by drawing upon diverse theoretical frames, and it adds nuance to the concept of self, which is generally (and sometimes vaguely) defined against the indices of modernity and colonialism. But for representing a wide field such as Indian travel writing, the choice of samples appears rather restricted, at least in terms of gender. Since the author introduces a crucial concept such as vernacular cosmopolitanism, one would have expected him to cast his net wider and include vernacular travel narratives. This would have lent greater depth to the discussion and broadened its scope. That being said, the book will nonetheless serve to deepen and expand one’s understanding of travel narratives written by Indians.
