Description
Book SynopsisReviewing the first volume in this series, Christopher Allmand, writing in
English Historical Review, said: `Once again, a volume of papers published by the Boydell Press has made a useful interdisciplinary contribution toan important and difficult subject. Historians may read this book with profit.' But not only historians, for the contributions to these volumes are wide-ranging, and cover all aspects of culture in the middle ages, with a strong emphasis on continental literature.
Trade Review`The nine essays are in every instance highly informative and useful contributions to a historical understanding of the conceptualization and implementation of knighthood.' ALBION Vol. 23, No. 4 Winter 91 * ALBION Vol. 23, No. 4 Winter 91 *
