From reviews of A History of Private Life:
The new emphasis on the history of everybody has now been consecrated in [this] ambitious five-volume series...Copious illustrative materials--paintings, drawings, caricatures, and photographs, all cannily chosen and wittily captioned to display domestic life...Magnificent.
   --Roger Shattuck, New York Times Book Review

From reviews of A History of Private Life:
This series has deservedly attracted huge praise from historians of all hues for its scholarly imagination and beautiful presentation.
