Honestly, I struggled with this. I was hoping for more straightforward explanations, but it felt quite academic and theoretical without enough practical examples. Didn't help much with my revision, unfortunately.

A very good resource for advanced students. It offers a fresh interpretation and synthesizes a lot of disparate information. Could use a bit more visual aids perhaps, but content-wise, it's strong.

Absolutely brilliant! This resource really opened my eyes to a complex topic. The way it breaks down the evidence is incredibly clear and made my essay writing so much easier. Highly recommend for anyone serious about the subject.

Solid material. It provided a great framework for understanding the period and the specific lens it uses. A few sections felt a bit dense, but overall, it's a valuable study aid, especially for understanding the nuances.

Totally unhelpful. I found it very difficult to follow the arguments, and it seemed to assume a lot of prior knowledge I don't have. Ended up just using my lecture notes instead. A real disappointment.

It's okay. Some parts were really insightful and helped clarify a few tricky concepts for my midterms. However, I felt it sometimes lacked the depth I needed for certain areas, and I had to supplement with other readings.
