Reviews

'Well written and scrupulously researched, Royal Spectacle provides an elegant example of the ways in which a micro study of an event can provide a rich field for a cultural historian. Ian Radforth is consistently attentive to questions of difference in Canadian society - particularly the differences of gender, race, ethnicity and religion, and region. This book makes a significant contribution to cultural, social, and gender history. I very much enjoyed reading it.' Catherine Hall, Department of History, University College London; His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales passing the residence of the mayor of Saint John, New Brunswick. (Illustrated London News, 8 September 1860).
