Reviews
Overall, both these volumes form invaluable additions to the history of their respective counties. They are authoritative and thoroughly researched, providing- as they are meant to do- the key works of reference for local history. -- Jon Stobart (joint review with VCH Sussex V, part 2) * ECONOMIC HISTORY REVIEW *
The Victoria County History continues to earn the gratitude of landscape - and many other - historians by producing such excellent volumes as this. [...] This is a splendid volume, more than matching the high standards of its predecessors. It is thorough, scholarly, and impeccably indexed and referenced, while also engagingly written, alive, for instance, to the evidence of literature as well as documents, maps and the landscape. * LANDSCAPE HISTORY *
A model of what a VCH volume should be. * NORTHERN HISTORY *
An important addition to the existing corpus of work on the historic East Riding. [It] will surely prove itself useful not only to academics, but also to the legion of local, family and community historians in the county. * AGRICULTURAL HISTORY REVIEW *
Many of the essays will be useful to scholars of the period and its texts. * THE YEAR'S WORK IN ENGLISH STUDIES *
A very readable book. * THE LOCAL HISTORIAN *
