Reviews
A useful collection, well presented, properly indexed, rising above the generally meretricious nature of the genre. * JOURNAL OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY *
Outstanding..The volume overall is excellent, and will surely be indispensable to scholars with an interest in Becket as well as saints' cults and elite patronage more generally around the year 1200. * JOURNAL OF RELIGIOUS HISTORY, LITERATURE AND CULTURE *
It will surely be an important resource for future studies, and it prompts many questions about how the cult developed and changed over the longer term, and about how elite engagement with the Becket cult influenced popular engagement. ENGLISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY [T]his volume enriches our understanding of the multiple meanings and diverse uses of Becket's prodigious afterlife. * SPECULUM *
This volume will be of interest to scholars of multiple specialities, including history, literature, and art history, along with others. The collection also speaks to regions beyond England and northern France, particularly Spain and Germany. * PARERGON *
A lively, thoroughly-researched, and stimulating contribution to an ever-expanding Becket literature. * SEHEPUNKTE *
