«'… 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»
«'The essays presented here are a useful introduction to medieval historical writing for any student, and they provide access points for a number of areas for further research.' Claire Macht, Journal of British Studies»

It is accessible, clearly purposed, and trenchantly researched.' Michael Calabrese, Modern Philology»
