[T]he book’s offerings seem precisely tuned to challenge the interested nonexpert, whether an undergraduate student or a researcher with some content background. Thus, the text manages to remain engaging but challenging, familiarly based on well-established foundations but presented with fresh insights and deft commentary.

The Cultural Histories are multi-volume sets that survey the social and cultural construction of specific subjects across six historical periods, broadly: - Antiquity - The Medieval Age - The Renaissance - The Age of Enlightenment - The Age of Empire - The Modern Age The subjects covered range from Animals to Dress and Fashion, from Sport to Furniture, from Money to Fairy Tales. Each volume discusses the same themes in its chapters so that readers may gain an understanding of a period by reading an entire volume, or follow a theme through history by reading the relevant chapter in each volume. Each six-volume set is illustrated. Titles are available as printed sets for libraries needing just one subject or preferring a one-off purchase and tangible reference for their shelves, or as part of a fully searchable digital library available to institutions by annual subscription or perpetual access (see www.bloomsburyculturalhistory.com).
