Reviews

'The collection as a whole works to resist the potentially dangerous oversimplification of histories and historiography by highlighting their ongoing shaping as transmitted and interpreted texts.' D. W. Hayes, Choice

'The collection as a whole works to resist the potentially dangerous oversimplification of histories and historiography by highlighting their ongoing shaping as transmitted and interpreted texts.' D. W. Hayes, Choice '... this very fine book is a radical departure from Gransden's earlier work and one that deserves to sit alongside it as a very different but equally important contribution to the study of medieval historiography.' Helen Fulton, Studies in the Age of Chaucer
