Reviews

`It is extremely useful to have this comprehensive, authoritative survey available in paperback.'
Dr W. R. J. Barron, Senior Lecturer, University of Manchester
`.. excellent survey of the subject by a well-known scholar and is particularly useful in that it covers areas which are otherwise rather neglected. I shall be recommending that the libarary purchase multiple copies, and I shall be including it on students' reading lists.'
Dr H L Spencer, Lecturer, University of Bristol
