Rezensionen

Jane Austen and the Fiction of Culture: An Essay on… von Richard Handler

I really enjoyed the early chapters, where the book was more about the novels. However, it went off the rails, towards the end, when it because more about today's social realities. Too bad - the early part of the book was excellent.

The New History in an Old Museum: Creating the Past… von Richard Handler

Two anthropologists study the corporate culture of the staff and management of this famous living history museum. There goal is to evaluate how social history is being taught and the many challenges to presenting it to varied audience, most of whom are on vacation. This study took place a couple of years before I worked for CW and for the most part the authors are dead on in their criticisms, but also rightly sympathetic to the challenges museum educators face.
