Recenzii
a very elegant book
a hugely rewarding book, sophisticated and important, and one which both demands and repays close attention ... a study of the development of procedures of accountability as a means of controlling the conduct of officers, but it uses its subject to present an impressively rich and subtle account of the mentality of government ... the technical skills that he brings to its study are hugely impressive ... Simply to conceptualize the topic in the way that he has done, and that itself advances the historical agenda, demonstrates extraordinary intellectual skills. The study itself is deeply rich and subtle, with a firm theoretical grounding, and it successfully opens out a range of important historical questions, giving it a resonance well beyond medieval history ... a highly original work which will surely stimulate debate and further research for many years; it really is new administrative history.
Officers and Accountability significantly contributes to our understanding both of England's history in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and of the extent to which English and continental European trends and developments must be viewed holistically. It also provides interesting food for thought in relation to trends of corporate, institutional, and governmental cultures, as well as behavior and regulation in the modern era. It is an interesting and very important first monograph that thinks innovatively about medieval cultures and mechanisms of accountability.
This is undoubtedly an important book and Sabapathy's strength is his complete mastery of the literature of accountability and his ability to draw out useful strands from a huge variety of secondary sources to bring to bear on his theme of accountability and to illuminate his individual examples.
