Reviews

This is a sturdy tome, expansive and comprehensive given the period it covers is one of no little interest. There is a 46 page bibliography as befits the width of the subject matter and a twelve page index. Without doubt an academic tome, it will sit well on any academic, public or specialist library's shelves and should be expected to meet a good cross-section of borrowers' needs.
