discussion, and deservedly so. It is not the final word. There are too many loose ends – the role of religion and law, for example, are little discussed and the organisation of the economy rather than its structure needs further consideration. The models from which some of the ideas are derived need much refinement. Recovering the history of the silent is a complex business and one size (or model) will not fit all. No doubt some were alienated by the plantation but others were not and their histories need to be recovered too. The debate will not, however, be facilitated by the publishers whose reproduction of the evidence, in the form of maps and tables is lamentably small – indeed to the point of illegibility.

书评：都柏林的资产阶级住宅：建造维多利亚时代的郊区，1850-1901

讨论，当之无愧。这不是最后一句话。有太多松散的结局——例如，很少讨论宗教和法律的作用，需要进一步考虑经济的组织而不是其结构。衍生出一些想法的模型需要大量改进。恢复沉默的历史是一项复杂的业务，一种规模（或模式）并不适合所有人。毫无疑问，有些人被种植园疏远了，但其他人没有，他们的历史也需要恢复。然而，出版商以地图和表格的形式复制证据的数量少得可怜——实际上已经到了难以辨认的地步，不会促进辩论。
