The following list is annotated and commented in an attempt to provide useful guides for editors. Each title is classified as belonging to any of the following categories:
- (P) Popular histories - these give an accessible, easily understood introduction to the subject but can be unclear on their sources. Good for providing contextual information in a specialist article, less so for detail and in asserting interpretations of primary sources.
- (A) Academic studies - these make critical use of sources to provide an interpretation. These should be the mainstay of article referencing.
- (C) Classic studies - sources of significance in the development of understanding of the subject, but often superseded by more recent research. Can be used for referencing but, unless talking about the author's theories directly, should preferably be checked against more modern works.
