Description
The shorter pieces reproduced here are drawn chiefly from the author's large output of review articles and reviews of the last fifteen years. Though there is some shared subject matter with R.C. Richardson's new collection on Social History, Local History and Historiography (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2011), this volume significantly enlarges the range of the other in addressing, for example, issues relating to politics and political thinking, London, gendered worlds, servants and servant-keeping, the writing of diaries, and early modern reading habits. Many of the essays have a pronounced historiographical dimension, and a number of them focus on the period of the English Revolution. The two final essays - on 'Epic Historiography' and 'Historians, History Brokers and English Historical Culture' - extend the coverage to modern times. General readers, not just specialists, will find this book a helpful and accessibly written guide to the subjects under review.
