History personal statement help

Am currently writing my personal statement for history. Am wondering whether, when analysing a book, should it be on a period that im not learning at A level? Does it reflect badly?

As I said in the other thread, it would be better if it was for a topic outside of your current studies, to demonstrate interest in a subject beyond the compulsory curriculum you're following. That you're actually using your free time to pursue history academically - since you'll need to do that at uni.:smile:
