Reviews
...Grummitt's portrait provides a valuable context that explores the political and philosophical notions of power that drove policy and established reputation. Summing Up: Recommended. L.C. Attreed, College of the Holy Cross, USA, CHOICE Review David Grummitt's latest book is a succinct, accessible and confident account of the life and reign of Henry VI. It evaluates with maturity and good sense the divergent views that have been expressed about this enigmatic king, within a distinctive context of what Dr Grummitt identifies as `Lancastrian' cultural values. Ralph Griffiths, Swansea University, UK 'David Grummitt provides us with a new picture of the complicated and nuanced reign of the religious, proud, and ill King Henry VI; the political and cultural values of the Lancastrians infuse Grummitt's view of the sometimes contradictory and often elusive Henry, offering us a new vantage of the mid-fifteenth century.' Wendy Turner, Georgia Regents University, USA
