Each section of this volume begins with a brief introduction and concludes with a lightly annotated selective bibliography. Also included are four appendices: Important Figures, Important Periods, Important Texts, and Important Terms.

Additional materials, including study questions for selected chapters, will be available on the Title Support Page for this volume on the Hackett Publishing Company website: www.hackettpublishing.com/rccp-support in spring 2023.
