Bøker av H. J. Dyos

Originally published in two volumes, this work provides an understanding of the urban past and present. With its many-sided approach to the total phenomenon of the Victorian city, the work encompasses not only what took place, but what people thought about themselves as it happened.

During the 1960s and 1970s, the growth of interest in the urban past was one of the most prominent developments in historical studies in the United Kingdom. In part, this was due to the work of the late H. J. Dyos. This book brings together some of Dyos's most important and influential essays, written over nearly thirty years.
