Reviews
The very commendable volume demonstrates highly skilled and meticulous in-depthresearch...[it]proves a rich and invaluable source, complex in its substantial details, at times highly entertaining, to thoseworking with fifteenth century Anglo-Frenchnetworks, politics, and power. * H-SOZ-KULT *
This meticulous compilation of the 15th-century English queen's letters is much more than just a collection of texts. . . . The extensive research makes this a valuable resource for understanding the people and institutions of medieval England at a time of civil disturbance. Highly recommended. * CHOICE *
Helen Maurer and Boni Cron are to be congratulated on such a scholarly and complete edition of this hitherto scattered material which will provide a useful resource for all future studies of Margaret of Anjou. * THE RICARDIAN *
It is difficult to think of two more qualified historians to provide a much-needed new edition of letters to, from, and about Margaret. . . . [T] letters in this critical edition are not new, but the new editors' detailed and knowledgeable commentary on each are alone a strong recommendation for this edition. -- Peter Russell * JOURNAL OF BRITISH STUDIES *
[...]this volume will be useful primarily to scholars focused on research related to Margaret of Anjou, queenship, and epistolary writing. -- Michele Seah * PARERGON *
[This book] will become the standard reference work for Margaret's letters. . . . The editors have succeeded in their aim of providing a counterpoint in the normalcy of Margaret's activities as queen, certainly before Henry VI's collapse in 1453, to her more-studied role as a leading player in the struggle for the English throne between 1455 and 1471. -- James Ross, University of Winchester * SPECULUM *
