Featuring contributions from leading experts in the period, this is fascinating material for anyone with an interest in transitional periods.
The collection features contributions from Mick Aston, Tim Darvill, Barry Cunliffe, Philip Rahtz, Michael Fulford, Peter Fowler, Teresa Hall, Carolyn Heighway, Martin Welch, Della Hooke, Richard Sermon and Tamara Rome.
Available in paperback priced £9.75 (inc. P&P), or as a free PDF download. All proceeds go to the CBA-SW. |
