“Sumptuously illustrated, as much a social and economic history as
an architectural account of one of the greatest cathedrals of the
world”—Paul Kennedy, Wall Street Journal
“Yale University Press has produced this definitive history—and
magnificent it is.”—Christopher Colven, Art Newspaper

The editor has largely succeeded in his aim of situating the Abbey
both in the life of the Church and the history of the
nation.”—Richard Chartres, Church Times
“[T]he Abbey is as much a monumental socio-cultural archive as it
is a Gothic masterpiece or national shrine. It remains, as this
expansive and engaging book shows, an enduringly potent artefact
within our national historical landscape.”—Mark Jones, Albion
Magazine
“Sir David Cannadine’s collection of essays embraces the whole
history of the abbey, a work covering more than a millennium and
