Reviews
Edmonds brings to this book extensive knowledge of the wider Gaelic world throughout the period covered, and expertise across a range of sources which are often difficult to deal with. * EARLY MEDIEVAL EUROPE *
[A] serious and substantial piece of scholarship and will prove to be an indispensable resource for many specialists studying medieval Irish and British history. -- Meredith D. Cutrer * Comitatus *
[An] impressively wide-ranging work. -- SCOTTISH HISTORICAL REVIEW
[A] useful and fascinating work that sheds light not only on early medieval Northumbria but also on the contemporary Irish Sea region as a whole. Those who study these subjects should, and undoubtedly will, make reference to her book in their own writings. -- INNES REVIEW
[An] authoritative, must read work. -- CWAAS NEWSLETTER
This is an invaluable book, and will be important for all scholars interested in interactions between Ireland and Northumbria during the early medieval period up to the eleventh century, and for those interested more broadly in applying interdisciplinary approaches to interactions between different peoples in the medieval world. -- NORTHERN HISTORY
[An] incredibly useful and long overdue work -- CAMBRIAN MEDIEVAL CELTIC STUDIES
Edmonds has succeeded in presenting an engaging and dynamic answer to the question of Gaelic influence in the Northumbrian kingdom, within an innovative interdisciplinary framework. * JOURNAL OF BRITISH STUDIES *
[A] significant work, which will, without a doubt, serve to inspire future studies on intercultural influence both within and beyond the bounds of the Northumbrian kingdom. * ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW *
This book is going to be essential reading for early medieval insular scholars for many years to come. * IRISH HISTORICAL STUDIES *
[A] valuable new book. . . . Edmonds has committed herself to a thoroughly interdisciplinary approach and demonstrated the possibilities open to those willing to seek out alternative material. -- Patrick Wadden * Speculum *
