Reviews

"If this book can work a comparable magic on others, inspiring more of us to take up investigation of the same historiographical path, our understanding of the Middle Ages, modernity, and the history of science will be the better for it." Steven P Marrone, Speculuma Journal of Medieval Studies  1 September 2009  

'John North...is determined to put Richard on the historical map - and what a map it is. Its sweep and fine-grained detail make his account a veritable tour de force of erudition.' 17/11/2006    
*The Times Higher Education Supplement*
