Fox an' the Fliies

An Afrikaner University which staffs a South African history journal made the mistake of asking me to review C. v. O.'s Fox an' the Fliies (I want to avoid searches), in a review essay. ("Or, a group review --" Me: "No, I'll do it.")

Anyway here is the last comment from the referee, who looked at my revisions:

> But more importantly,
> the author must still discuss the substantive,
> wide-ranging historiographical issues raised by the
> book: these, as my initial response indicated, would
> include the Atlantic World, late 19th century
> globalisation, gender and race, criminality, and
> identity, amongst others.

This is supposed to be in the conclusion of the essay.

[Addendum: I hear now it is going forward as is . . .]
