Reviews

[William Thompson · Rating 2 out of 5]

Mee provides a decent chronological summary of Erasmus's life. However, the author's commentary towards Erasmus throughout the book doesn't appear to be backed by anything other that Mee's own attitudes. Moreover, the attitude of the author is everywhere throughout the book.
