Reviews

A reflective and thoughtful analysis that reminds us of the value of taking a fresh approach to well-known sources... this is an impressive, welcome, and stimulating contribution to the study of chronicle sources.
*PARERGON*

A useful resource ... There is no doubt that this book adds to our understanding of the wide range of perspectives with which Glyndwr's revolt was depicted in English chronicles of the late medieval period.
*JOURNAL OF ENGLISH AND GERMANIC PHILOLOGY*

[A] valuable addition to a considerable body of scholarship on both medieval English chronicles and the Welsh rebellion.
*SIXTEENTH CENTURY JOURNAL*

Not only highlights the enduring impact of the Glyndwr revolt on historical writing in late medieval and early modern England but reveals in unprecedented depth how the accounts of the revolt were constructed in the works under consideration.
*SEHEPUNKTE*

Alicia Marchant has enriched our understanding of chronicles-both the techniques used in them and the role they play in their societies-and of English views of Glyndwr and his rebellion as attitudes developed over time. . . . She has provided a work that should be of interest to scholars working on any set of chronicles as well as to those interested more specifically in the literature and history of medieval England or Wales.
