Bibliography
`Wide ranging study ... a valuable survey of the representation and
thematic uses of sieges in Middle English romances, which is
thoroughly researched, clearly written, and refreshingly free of
jargon. It contains, throughout, information and observations,
particularly on several little-dealt-with romances, which will be
of interest to readers of medieval romance.'
Bonnie Millar, MLR, 94.3, 1999.
`Hebron felicitiously combines close reading of texts with
references to military realities and cultural values in this
well-informed and judicious book.'
