`Here we have incomparably the best textbook on mediaeval European history in the language, a book which every teacher in the subject must desire to put into the hands of students.' - The New Statesman`A model of descriptive and objective commentary, so objective that it seems to be itself a part of the history.' - The Manchester Guardian`A very great book' - The Liverpool Daily Post`A measured and comprehensive outline of European history from the Barbican invasions to the abdication of Emperor Charles V ... it is deserving of careful study; and throughout it is illuminated by quite brilliant historical insight and quiet humour.' - Church Times`A work of detachment, concentration and memory ... proving, yet again, that the chains of the body are often wings to the spirit ...
