Reviews

"This is a masterly revisiting of the period, every clause ofLinehan's sentences embodying not only that eloquence of rhetoricalstyle he so admired in the work of another Fellow of St. John's,Prof. John Cook (see the obituary by Lineham in The Independent, 15September 2007), but a freshness and vitality of vision that findtheir fullest expression in his portrait of King Alfonso el Sabio."(Speculuma Medieval Studies, April 2011)
