Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism(書目)
Routledge 是英國久負盛名的老牌出版社，至今大概有一百七十來年的歷史了，并以出版高水平的學術著作出名。當然，我們都知道，除了水平高以外，它的書價也一般是高不可攀的，不過，幸好，很多新書都被愛好者電子化了，可以在網絡上找到共享版。
這家出版社也有一個佛教研究系列，帖出來供大家參考，其中也有不少華人研究者，臺、港的都有，印象中好象沒有大陸的學者（我有沒有記錯？港大廣興法師這樣的，當然不能算是大陸學者了）至於水平嘛，我就不評價了，感覺有些真正的好書沒有收進去，或者人家根本不投，有些質量水平也不能說是很高。總體看來，有點象是新生代的大檢閱。但無論如何，這套書是值得關注的，從中可以知道西方佛教學研究的一些傾向。
豆瓣的排版非常不好，沒辦法排出粗細和顏色來，真是看起來讓人絕望。有心的自己去出版社網站查吧。
