Revue de presse

'... an intellectual breakthrough which, like it or not, will influence all our thinking in the future ... Brief though it is, the book makes a profound impression. Much research will be necessary to extend and modify it, but here undoubtedly is a major contribution of our time.' Sidney Pollard, Economic History Review

'General history is often interesting, but rarely important and searching. Continuity, Chance and Change succeeds on all three counts.' Julian Hoppit, The Times Higher Education Supplement
