Reviews

Demonstrate[s] the abiding power of a national symbol supported by monarchs from the crusading Richard I to our own time.
*THE RICARDIAN*

The book is definitely a full, erudite consideration of the origins, development, and overall history of the Cult of St. George, from its inception and arrival in England to its influence through the Middle Ages and beyond.
*JOURNAL OF ENGLISH & GERMANIC PHILOLOGY*

An engaging [...] and generally excellent volume.
*JOURNAL OF BRITISH STUDIES*

Ein angenehm lesbarer, mit Gewinn zu benutzender Einstieg in die hagiographische Wunderwelt des spätmittelalterlichen England und die besondere Rolle, die dem heiligen Georg darin zukam. Good liefert damit einen soliden Ausgangspunkt für weitere Untersuchungen.
*H-SOZ-U-KULT*

A delightful study.
*BOOK NEWS*

A timely addition to the canon of St George studies - and in many ways it is far more useful than a number of recent works, not least because it is supported by a full set of references, a piece of scholarly apparatus that is often denied to those authors (myself included) who may publish with less thoroughly academic imprints than Boydell. [...] A timely and useful text which will do much to assist the ongoing invigoration of interest in St George and his English cult.
*REVIEWS IN HISTORY*

An excellent, methodical study, highly recommended to academics and curious lay readers alike.
*MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW*

A well-researched and clearly written account of how England adopted its improbable national saint.
*TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION SUPPLEMENT*
