Rezensionen

"As the first academic study to address the topic of adolescence in Irish history, this volume is therefore a welcome addition to a developing field. ... it remains a valuable publication and one that marks out a new area of historical enquiry." (Virginia Crossman, Childhood in the Past, Vol. 10 (1), June, 2017)
