Bibliography
Appendix: Translations
A reflective and thoughtful analysis that reminds us of the value
of taking a fresh approach to well-known sources... this is an
impressive, welcome, and stimulating contribution to the study of
chronicle sources.
*PARERGON*
A useful resource ... There is no doubt that this book adds to our
understanding of the wide range of perspectives with which
Glyndwr's revolt was depicted in English chronicles of the late
medieval period.
*JOURNAL OF ENGLISH AND GERMANIC PHILOLOGY*
[A] valuable addition to a considerable body of scholarship on both
medieval English chronicles and the Welsh rebellion.
*SIXTEENTH CENTURY JOURNAL*
Not only highlights the enduring impact of the Glyndwr revolt on
historical writing in late medieval and early modern England but
reveals in unprecedented depth how the accounts of the revolt were
constructed in the works under consideration.
*SEHEPUNKTE*
Alicia Marchant has enriched our understanding of chronicles-both
the techniques used in them and the role they play in their
societies-and of English views of Glyndwr and his rebellion as
attitudes developed over time. . . . She has provided a work that
should be of interest to scholars working on any set of chronicles
as well as to those interested more specifically in the literature
and history of medieval England or Wales.
