Reviews
A dense, meticulously researched "handbook" that is designed to guide students through the methodological thickets connecting medieval historiography and rhetoric.
S. Morillo, Wabash College, CHOICE, 01/04/2012
This is a very substantial work of scholarship, by an author who is absolutely on top of his material despite its bulk, and of the vast historiography on it, and who also offers a wealth of original insights, inspiring students to analyse source-texts critically for themselves.
History Workshop Journal 74 (1) Autumn 2012
'Important, exciting and stimulating ... comprehensive, lucid, and extraordinarily wide-ranging.'
B. Weiler, English Historical Review, July 2013
This substantial book is likely to become a major work on history, historiography, and rhetoric during the medieval period.
'A magisterial, synthetic introduction to the subject, aimed principally at students and scholars new to the field and encompassing some 550 pages of elegantly written, exhaustively supported argumentation.'
Cam Grey, University of Pennsylvania, Rhetorica, July 2016
