HANDOUTS FOR BRITISH HISTORY
Hungarian students of British history have had to face a host of
difficulties ever since World War II: essential handbooks have been
missing from the shelves of even the biggest libraries, basic literature
has been hardly available, and primary sources impossible to find.
Generations of prospective teachers of English and history, scholars,
journalists, translators, and men of letters have been educated against
all odds, with just a fraction of much needed British history and "area
studies" in their curricula.
The present workbook tries to offer some help by providing a
comprehensive study guide which is a textbook, a chronology, a
glossary of historical terms, an atlas, a bibliography, and a collection of
tests - all in one. It is primarily Intended as a handbook for students of
universities in Hungary - and was compiled with a view to the
particular conditions In Hungary in the early 1990s. It Is probably a very

HANDOUTS FOR BRITISH HISTORY
Hungarian students of British history have had to face a host of

missing from the shelves of even the biggest libraries, basic literature

Generations of prospective teachers of English and history, scholars,

The present workbook tries to offer some help by providing a
comprehensive study guide which is a textbook, a chronology, a
glossary of historical terms, an atlas, a bibliography, and a collection of
tests - all in one. It is primarily Intended as a handbook for students of
universities in Hungary - and was compiled with a view to the
particular conditions In Hungary in the early 1990s. It Is probably a very
optimistic venture which will certainly not be fully able to substitute all
the different handbooks students would possibly need. Still, the book
may give substantial help to all beginners and serve as a starting point
for more ambitious studies as well.
A similar handbook by the same authors, Handouts for US His-
tory; will shortly accompany the present volume.
