Media Reviews
An excellent treatment of political developments from the Conquest through the death of Edward I that is informed by [Clanchy's] wide knowledge of the written sources for the period. (Sixteenth Century Journal, Summer 2009) [This] is the third edition of a much admired textbook which has already introduced countless students to the period yet remains fresh and full of imulating insights. For this edition Clanchy has updated the existing chapters and added excellent new ones on the economy, lordship, and England's position in Britain. (Annual Bulletin of Historical Literature, December 2008) Michael Clanchy is an engaging writer whose work is always notable for its clarity without oversimplifying the key academic debates. The third edition of this excellent survey text is no exception. (Journal of the Australian Early Medieval Association, Volume 4, 2008) MT Clanchy's supremely well-written account of the nation and its kings during this period retains its excellent introduction to the development of England after the Normans, but the three new chapters make it even more pertinent reading. Given current concerns over Britishness, this is a lively addition to the debate on where Britain's national identity derives from. (BBC History Magazine) A very good introduction to medieval England. The questions Clanchy raises, his frequent challenges to the views of other historians, his thoughtful and learned discussions of major issues in the history of medieval England, and his generous and explicit use of primary sources all combine to offer rich material for reflection and discussion.
