“This volume … shows the necessity of a more organic integration of cultural history with other branches of social, economic, political, and environmental history. Put simply, this volume is asking all the important questions.” -- Daniel R. Curtis, Tijdschrift voor Geschiedenis, Vol. 136, Issue 3, December 2023
