These are
the main series of lectures I have given at Cambridge University to
undergraduates from 1975 onwards. Before that date I had given some
lectures in the History Faculty on English kinship. All dates are approximate.
Those of which there are recordings or films are indicated. Those which
are directly related to published books are also indicated. As will
be seen, I tended to lecture on many subjects outside those on which
I published.
