SOCIAL MEMORY

NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE PAST

General Editor R.I. Moore Advisory Editors Gerald Aylmer Tanya Luhrmann David Turley Patrick Wormald New Perspectives on the Past is a series designed to examine broad issues which are constantly touched upon in historical study but are rarely examined directly. From a basis of sound and specific historical scholarship the authors explore their chosen themes, ranging widely across cultures and long periods of time, and often using the concepts and interpretations of other disciplines. The aim is to make the results of modern historical thinking and research available for general discussion. PUBLISHED
