With this incisive review of his work by Perry Anderson, published by Prismas in 2014, we wish to join in paying tribute to that great historian and lucid intellectual who has just passed away.

The Power of Anomaly, by Perry Anderson*

*A version specially prepared for Prismas of the essay Anderson had published in the London Review of Books (vol. 34, no. 8, April 26, 2012) as a review of the English translation of Carlo Ginzburg’s *The Thread and the Traces*. Translated by Eugenia Gay.
