Reviews

Popes and Antipopes is less about an office than about people. Its institutional history morphs into social history. Its story really concerns reformers--not just the traditional heroes but also some who were anti-popes and imperialists and some who were morally compromised--all struggling with limited success as they tragically attempt to reshape an unjust and inharmonious world. - John Howe, Texas Tech University, in: The Medieval Review (January 2013) Mary Stroll's latest contribution to the history of the medieval papacy is a brave endeavour to illuminate the political factors the undergirded the successes and failures of the papal reform movement in the 11th century. - Eimhin Walsh, Trinity College, Dublin, in: Reviews in History (23 February 2013)
