Reviews
Medievalists working on identity and culture of the high Middle Ages will find this monograph particularly useful for its breadth and in-depth analysis of chivalric tracts, as will historians of the development of prescriptive behavioral codes over time. * Klayton Tietjen, Comitatus *
Crouch handles the model and the exceptions with aplomb. His sources are primarily literary; as he himself says, his monograph is largely a study of "genre." Using normative sources such as conduct manuals, of which he displays a masterly command, Crouch exhaustively details the pan-European development and debate on elite self-definition via modes of behavior in the high Middle Ages. * Ken Mondschein, Speculum 96/3 *
