John Fennell's history of thirteenth-century Russia is the only
detailed study in English of the period, and is based on close
investigation of the primary sources. His account concentrates on
the turbulent politics of northern Russia, which was ultimately to
become the tsardom of Muscovy, but he also gives detailed attention
to the vast southern empire of Kiev before its eclipse under the
Tatars. The resulting study is a major addition to medieval
historiography: an essential acquisition for students of Russia
itself, and a book which decisively fills a vast blank on the map
of the European Middle Ages for medievalists generally.

A Critical Introduction to Philosophy of Language is a historically
oriented introduction to the central themes in philosophy of
language. Its narrative arc covers Locke's 'idea' theory, Mill's
empiricist account of math and logic, Frege and Russell's
development of modern logic and its subsequent deployment in their
pioneering program of 'logical analysis', Ayer and Carnap's logical
positivism, Quine's critique of logical positivism and elaboration
of a naturalist-behaviorist approach to meaning, and
later-Wittgenstein's 'ordinary language philosophy'-inspired
rejection of the project of logical analysis. Thus, it historically
situates the two central programs in early twentieth-century
English-speaking philosophy -- logical analysis and logical
positivism -- and discusses the central critiques they face later
in the century in the works of Quine and the later-Wittgenstein.
Unlike other secondary studies in philosophy of language, A
Critical Introduction to Philosophy of Language is not just a
'greatest hits album', i.e., a discontinuous compilation in which
classics in the field are presented together with their standard
criticisms one after the other. Instead, Fennell develops a
particular, historical-thematic narrative in which the figures and
ideas he treats are introduced in highly intentional ways. And by
cross-referencing them throughout his discussions, he highlights
the contributions they make to the narrative they comprise.
