“Chapman describes this volume as both ‘a partially researched textbook’ and ‘an attempt to map the field’. … as a convenient one-stop-shop source of reliable information and thoughtful comment on a huge subject it will prove useful for some years to come. … it will endure further as an equally handy summary of the state of received knowledge at the time of its writing.” (Patrick Russell, Reviews in History, history.ac.uk, June, 2016)
