`This book cannot fail to influence present and future generations
of Anglo-Normanists. By providing a historical commentary ... it
sets a new standard for exegesis of this work.'
J.C. Crick, Archives.
`the publication of this new edition of one of his great histories
long available only in nineteenth-century editions and
translations, albeit excellent ones for their times, is
particularly a reason for rejoicing because it is the work of a
trio of distinguised scholars ... this is not a slavish
translation, but one set in good modern prose, an improvement, at
least for modern readers, over the ninteenth-century versions ...
for the reader who is willing
to look up unfamiliar individuals and who is willing to read
William of Malmesbury's text on its own terms, this edition is an
approachable place to start to read William's wonderful, ironic
work of
history.'
Leah Shopkow, The Medieval Review
