Reviews
'This book does not intend to be a pure military history - as well as looking at Fairfax the soldier and the statesman, equal attention is given to Fairfax the husband, the horseman, and the scholar. This is a meticulously researched collection of essays ... extremely enlightening - not least on how Fairfax has been portrayed in modern literature and film ...' Military History Magazine ’This is not pure military history, for as well as looking at Fairfax the soldier and statesman, the book equally considers Fairfax the husband, scholar and horseman. This is a meticulously researched collection of essays... extremely enlightening...’ Casemate 'All in all, 'An Appleton Psalter', like several of the other essays in this timely and stimulating collection, does much to persuade the reader that Fairfax - a man who was widely praised by contemporaries for his modesty, his humility and his lack of rancour - was indeed an individual who possessed many great virtues: virtues which remain admirable in the present age, just as they were in his own.'
