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
