Reviews

'Veronica Ortenberg's unconventional, well-researched book...successfully exposes how the imagined Middle Ages have been appropriated for political, ideological and commercial causes by different generations and movements....In Search of the Holy Grail is a wide-ranging book that ought to attract a similarly wide audience.'--Alex Burghart, Times Literary Supplement "Times Literary Supplement "
