A very useful contribution to medieval studies which will be of value both to specialists in the field and to those with a more general interest.
*ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW*

Certain to become essential reading for anyone who wants to pursue research in this field... clear analyses of authorial technique and a succinct account of the development of historiographical writing.
