Reviews
'... this erudite study sheds much new light on Charlemagne.' NRC Handelsblad
'This is an important study, a reflection of a life spent considering and writing on Carolingian issues. It supersedes existing studies on Charlemagne in English and, to my mind, those in French as well.' The Historical Association
'[A] magisterial study of this historical figure' H-German
'... this book is a mile-stone in Carolingian scholarship, a critically significant reappraisal of the celebrated emperor and of the impact of his rule, and an achievement which cannot fail to stimulate further work on a number of fronts.' English Historical Review
