Reviews

Because Hebron is a good close reader, his analyses enliven and illuminate all of the texts he surveys Journal of English and Germanic Philology


`Wide ranging study ... a valuable survey of the representation and thematic uses of sieges in Middle English romances, which is thoroughly researched, clearly written, and refreshingly free of jargon. It contains, throughout, information and observations, particularly on several little-dealt-with romances, which will be of interest to readers of medieval romance.' Bonnie Millar, MLR, 94.3, 1999. `Hebron felicitiously combines close reading of texts with references to military realities and cultural values in this well-informed and judicious book.' Forum for Modern Language Studies Vol.36 No.2
