Critic Reviews
“From reviews of A History of Private Life: This series has deservedly attracted huge praise from historians of all hues for its scholarly imagination and beautiful presentation.”
From reviews of A History of Private Life: The new emphasis on the history of everybody has now been consecrated in [this] ambitious five-volume series...Copious illustrative materials--paintings, drawings, caricatures, and photographs, all cannily chosen and wittily captioned to display domestic life...Magnificent. -- Roger Shattuck New York Times Book Review -- Andrew Freedman Financial Times
