One of five finalists for the RHS Whitfield prize.The Whitfield Book Prize has become one of the most sought after book prizes for early career historians.
Writing of the six finalists, Whitfield Prize Committee Chair Professor Paul Readman writes "Once again, the Whitfield Prize competition attracted a large number of excellent entries, presenting the judges with something of an embarrassment of riches. Engagingly written, compellingly argued and deeply researched, the six shortlisted books demonstrate the vibrancy and intellectual ambition of today’s work on British and Irish history.”
