History Studies: University of Limerick History Society Journal Vol (10)

I am pleased to present a diverse series or essays from Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada in volume ten of the History Studies. It has heen difficult to restrict the number or essays to nine as the essays omitted were or a very high standard. Although the essays are arranged in a loose chronological order: commencing with a discussion on the the gravestone of a lonely Roman soldier in Spain, continued through the Middle Ages' expansion or Christianity, passing through early modern European philosophy and nineteenth-century emigration and gender issues and finally ending in Ireland and Shanghai in the post-war period. This collection provides a glimpse into the bewildering range of themes possible under the ever expanding umbrella or history. It is important that postgraduage studies have a forum and I believe that volume ten will spur many more students into offering their work for the editorial gaze of volume eleven. Freyne Corbett
