Really great coverage of the period. A couple topics I need to prepare weren’t even mentioned in this book so I think maybe it could’ve been slightly more thorough. Many many themes/people/genres/political trends were reiterated across the different chapters (probably because of the different authors) but the editor couldve thinned that out. 4 stars because I don’t want to read it again 😂
