Editorial Reviews
Review
“The 374 entries are up-to-date, reflect a knowledge of the most recent scholarship, and take balanced positions....Recommended for public and undergraduate libraries.”–
“Contributions are very well written and succinct, providing all the necessary information a researcher, or even someone with a more general interest in the period, could require....[a] valuable source of information for scholars and students studying this particular period of medieval English history. It would also be of use to the casual reader who wishes to check the details of a particular event or consult a brief biography of major people from this period. As such it would be a useful addition to the reference collections of academic, public and even school libraries.”–
Book Description
Providing the chronological setting for many of Shakespeare's plays, various swashbuckling novels from Sir Walter Scott's to Robert Louis Stevenson's, and such Hollywood films as Braveheart, late Medieval England is superficially well known. Yet its true complexity remains elusive, locked in the covers of specialized monographs and journal articles. In over 300 entries written by 80 scholars, this book makes the factual information and historical interpretations of the era readily available. Covering political, military, religious, and constitutional subjects as well as social and economic topics, the volume is easy to use, comprehensive, and authoritative. It provides a useful resource for undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, and educated laymen.
