Reviews

This fascinating book [is] part of a new and very welcome move towards rigorous quantitative study in the field of the public understanding of the past....Brownlie['s] analysis of the myth of the 'Norman Yoke' and its rich radical history is particularly illuminating.
*MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGY*

Brownlie's very valuable, stimulating and thought-provoking contribution should encourage other scholars to follow her into this field.
*FOLKLORE*

An excellent analysis of how myth and memory interrelate.
