Media Reviews
'Royle calls on an impressive range of materials (supported by an excellent bibliography) to offer a judicious review of most of the issues currently confronted by social historians. His agenda contains both traditional and novel elements... all are presented with admirable clarity and balance. A volume which shows an astonishing command of such a wide range of material will long prove essential.' The Times Literary Supplement 'This book goes beyond the merely useful business of historiographical summary, and encourages students to think more deeply about the significance of historical developments.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
