H-Net Reviews
From the Inside Flap
Each essay both distils the current state of historical scholarship and assesses the directions that research is likely to take in future. All the contributions pay attention to the experiences of women as well as of men, and to regional and national variations across Britain and Ireland. Though engaged with cutting-edge theories, including postmodern and post-structuralist perspectives, the contributors avoid technical jargon and assume no prior expert knowledge.
The volume is written in a clear and energetic manner, and illustrated with maps and charts where appropriate. Guides to further reading allow readers to follow chosen avenues of investigation with confidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars One For The Students
A great book. Lovely layout of the essays, similar to how students will write theirs, and each article is very interesting.
No need for pointless text boxes, just the cold hard facts; presented as such that it is easily digestible

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful for my degree
Aided me in my undergraduate history degree, Useful text which is accessibly laid out. It is rather bulky so not the easiest thing to cart about but as most history students know, this is a common occurrence!
