A love letter to swords from a pioneering scholar that approaches them as a multifaceted subject and carries the reader with enthusiasm to explore and understand them even more. * ARMS AND ARMOUR * This reviewer came away feeling as though he was Jamie Lannister after a thorough and fun training session with Bronn. There is so much in this book that it will be worth returning to again and again.

A Cultural History of the Sword is a worthy text for any appropriate college or graduate classes that wish to see the Middle Ages with more clarity and enjoyment. * STUDIES IN MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE TEACHING (SMART) * It should be on the bookshelf of anybody who claims to be interested in the importance of the sword in medieval life and thought and their cultural significance in the past - and present. -- Robert Woosnam-Savage Author InformationRobert W.
