It is a way of learning in smaller groups through discussion, designed both to get away from and to supplement the basic lecture techniques. To be informed, the members of a seminar must be informed - or else, in the unkind phrase of a cynic - it can be a 'pooling of ignorance'. ... For this reason we have invited practicing teachers to contribute short studies on specialised aspects of British and European history with these special needs in mind. For this series the authors have been asked to provide, in addition to their basic analysis, a full selection of documentary material of all kinds and an up-to-date and comprehensive bibliography." .
