Reviews

To be welcomed (for) his focus on a still largely neglected facet of English religious life... a splendid display of archival research and imaginative recreation of late medieval canonical life. JOURNAL OF THE SOCIETY OF ARCHIVISTSAdmirable...a scrupulous comparative study of the canons of all nine medieval secular cathedrals... Unquestionably the most important contribution to our understanding of the 'running' of England's medieval secular cathedrals (for) half a century. ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW (R.B. DOBSON)
