The volume represents the second part of Rosenthal's cataloging of
historical scholarship on Ricardian, Lancastrian, and Yorkist England,
covering categories from political and legal history to social and
intellectual history and the arts. As Rosenthal notes in the
introduction, its size (1,888 entries for the decade) hardly gives much
support to those who warn us of the imminent demise of the more
traditional lines of historical endeavor and inquiry.
