"As the editors acknowledge, there is still some way to go in bringing together the 'fractured' (p. 6) and 'confused' (p. 2) field of nineteenth-century political history. However, in assembling such a rich collection of essays, Craig and Thompson have made more than 'a necessary start' (p. 17)." - The Journal of the Historical Association
