Overview vs. Monograph

An Overview is a book which addresses a time period such as Europe in the High Middle Ages. Use the index to find your topic; it may be a chapter or just a few pages. An overview is meant to place your topic within the context of the time and larger world.

A Monograph is a book which addresses your specific topic. If you are researching a person, a monograph could be a biography of the person. If you are researching an event, a monograph might be The Norman Conquest: A New Introduction.
