Praise for this book
"There is no other text that provides such a comprehensive discussion of how and why local history has evolved from the preserve of the 'amateur', the antiquarian and evening classes into its current position of growth and academic credibility. It raises important questions about the definition, the content and the practice of local history."--Christopher French, University of Kingston
