The North Through its Names: A Phenomenology of Medieval and Early-Modern Northern Englandby Dave PostlesThis volume in the English Surnames Survey series looks at the north of England. The definition of what constitutes 'the north' is dependent on a number of variables social, political, cultural, geographic and linguistic. Allied to this, is an understanding that there was a consciousness of northern-ness, both inside and outside its parameters, based on these criteria. The personal names from the north during the medieval/early-modern period are linguistic phenomena, incorporating speech acts that defined a northern consciousness, and in this way are an invaluable resource in exploring a northern identity.256p, 47 b/w figs (English Surnames Survey 8, Oxbow Books 2007) 
Review Quote"The strength of this book is in the thorough assembling of evidence... Dr Postles has provided firm evidence placed in a wider context." David Hey
