Exploring Cultural History: Essays in Honour of Peter Burke, ed. Melissa Calaresu, Filippo de Vivo and Joan-Pau Rubiés (Aldershot: Ashgate, 2010; pp. xvii + 376. £70). Many Festschriften languish as burial mounds of miscellanea, glued together with little more than the good intentions of former students out to honour a retiring master. This collection of essays offers something different. To begin with, it keeps a close, tight focus on a central question: the extraordinary impact Peter Burke has had on history in general, and cultural history in particular, during almost five decades. At the same time it strives mightily, and on the whole successfully, to replicate in practice Burke's own strengths as a historian. Three of these are especially present throughout the text. The first is the notable variety--in terms of subject-matter as well as geographical focus--that marks the seventeen chapters in this book. Few historians working in any field have managed to write about such a wide range of topics as has Burke. It thus comes as little surprise to find a similar breadth among the contributions to this volume. Their geographical reach spans a dozen countries or empires--albeit with a certain predilection for France and Italy.

Many Festschriften languish as burial mounds of miscellanea, glued together with little more than the good intentions of former students out to honour a retiring master. This collection of essays offers something different. To begin with, it keeps a close, tight focus on a central question: the extraordinary impact Peter Burke has had on history in general, and cultural history in particular, during almost five decades. At the same time it strives mightily, and on the whole successfully, to replicate in practice Burke’s own strengths as a historian. Three of these are especially present throughout the text.

The first is the notable variety—in terms of subject-matter as well as geographical focus—that marks the seventeen chapters in this book. Few historians working in any field have managed to write about such a wide range of topics as has Burke. It thus comes as little surprise to find a similar breadth among the contributions to this volume. Their geographical reach spans a dozen countries or empires—albeit with a certain predilection for France and Italy. Their themes are even more diverse. The book opens with ecotypes in Scandinavian (and other) folklore traditions (David Hopkin), and closes with the confluence of antiquarianism and popular writing in nineteenth-century Ireland (Clare O’Halloran). In between, the reader meets violence-prone Knights of Malta (Carmel Cassar), dancing savages in the New World (Alessandro Arcangeli), Counter-Reformation saints (Thomas Worcester, Helen Hills), and inter-confessional negotiators in Switzerland (Daniela Hacke). Monarchs loom unusually large as protagonists, whether participating in public rituals in Spain (María José del Río), or studying novel approaches to statecraft and posing as the heroes of competing iconographies and constitutional traditions in France (Jacob Soll, Nicole Hochner, Nicholas Dew). Other, less personalised, themes include shifts in political language and justifications of state policy (Silje Normand, Pärtel Piirimäe), the role of cities as theatres for novel forms of cultural display (Gabriel Guarino, Herman Roodenburg), and the influence of cultural mistakes on Great Britain's brief administration of the Ionian Islands (Maria Fusaro). Finally, Burke himself is the subject of a brief reflection on his little-known role as journalist in Brazil (Ángel Gurría-Quintana).
