Library Association Record

‘The Cambridge Companions are of enormous use to undergraduates, graduates setting out on their research careers, and those who require ready and comprehensive access both to the fundamentals of the field and to recent developments in its study and scholarship. Previous volumes in this series have included a number of essays which are not only outstanding introductions to the subject matter in question, but which put forward fascinating, new and sometimes provocative arguments in their own right.’
