Aided in his research by several collaborators and by a number of libraries throughout the world, David Baguley has compiled some 8000 items covering the period from the first reviews of Zola's early works to 1970.

There is no doubt that local and regional history, considered by many as a kind of minor historical study, has a pressing need for a systematic inventory of its resources. This collection shows the durability, the vividness, and the astonishing productivity of a sector of history which is the stronghold of the history-lover rather than the professional historian.

Exhaustive analyses of fascinating historical and contemporary arguments are provided. These...
