'In this volume a galaxy of leading historians illuminates a wide range of topics and themes. Our understanding of post-Conquest England, Normandy, Flanders, medieval memory and historiography, ideas of gender and the study of the bible is enriched through analysis of charters, chronicles, legal treatises, glosses, hagiography and vernacular texts. Yet the chapters have a unity, fanning out as they do from the oeuvre of the beneficently influential historian whom the volume honours.' David D'Avray, University College London
