Reviews
Review from previous edition full of wise insights, balance of information, reliable scholarship and precision of writing * Times Literary Supplement *
I know of no other book on this subject which is so wide Nn coverage and penetration.' * Financial Times *
An extensive and partly annotated list of further reading will be very helpful to the reader who wants to go beyond a one chapter account of two or three medieval centuries, or of a whole continent in later times. * David J. Hall, The Friend *
