An innovative reference series, All Things encyclopedias examine the material culture, beliefs, customs, people, and institutions that made up their subject's world, giving readers a window into the larger historical context for the topic.

The heart of each book is a collection of alphabetically arranged entries. Cross-references direct students to entries on similar topics, and lists of works for further reading point them to useful sources of additional information. An end-of-work, selected, general bibliography lists the most important print and electronic resources for student research.
