Recenzii

Reviews for the 1983 edition:
‘Mr Hurstfield has taken on a most difficult task and discharged it triumphantly. It is hard to see how this obscure and complicated matter could have been treated with more exact thoroughness or more patient and balanced judgement.’ – Times Literary Supplement
‘Joel Hurstfield has a delightful way of writing. He is lucid where lucidity cannot have been easy, and where he picks human instances, he writes with dry wit and a palpable sympathy for all in distress.’ – Stevie Smith, Daily Telegraph
‘Its strong human theme, coupled with ease of writing and a flair for the telling phrase, make it a book that will be no means appeal only to specialists.’ – The Times
