Dr J. S. Roskell FBA (1913-1998) was Professor of Medieval History at the University of Manchester. His publications focussed on the English medieval Parliament.
Those who have long awaited the publication of these volumes need
be in no doubt that they surpass all expectation...it will remain
one of the handful of essential reference materials for political
and social historians of late medieval England . It is hard to
imagine that future historians will ever manage to improve more
than very marginally on the labours of Linda Clark, Carole
Rawcliffe and their colleagues.
*LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS*
A major accomplishment in the annals of late medieval English
scholarship . The four volumes .are a major contribution to
scholarship.
*MEDIEVAL PROSOPOGRAPHY*
The appearance of the latest set of volumes in the History of
Parliament is a milestone in publishing history...[these volumes]
provide the basis for a major reassessment of the parliamentary
history of the period; and...offer the raw materials for a fresh
understanding of relations between the centre and localities. The
publication of these volumes, so long awaited, is a major
achievement.
