Reviews

'Lucid and perceptive, striking an effective balance between primary and secondary authorities, Huscroft's book is both a significant statement in its own right and an ideal introduction to other work in the field.' Professor David Carpenter, Kings College London "An outstandingly lucid and attractively presented introduction to the political history of Englad in the period it covers. Hopefully it will encourage many new to the subject to read further". Peter Jackson, Oxford
