War Commemoration and Civic Culture in the North East of England, 1854–1914

“Hinton reveals in this fascinating account of civic remembrance of nineteenth century conflict in the north east of England, there is a richer field of enquiry at another level … . The significance of this work is in exposing the local decisions that were made to create these sites and their place as civic markers. As such, these are places that are always subject to what we regard as a society and a reflection of the state of our democracy.” (Ross Wilson, Northern History, Vol. 59 (2), 2022)
