Reviews

`Review from previous edition 'Interlinked essays of enormous learning and suggestiveness...all are meticulously reintroduced, reannotated and cross referenced...Few self-proclaimed 'intellectual' historians can boast as sure a grasp as Evans of the politico-military-economic structures enabling cultural activities.' -'
