'The contributions here are a fitting tribute to an inspirational scholar, and they make up a beautiful book and a captivating read... The editing efforts of Mitchell, French, and Biggs must be applauded. The experience of reading the volume is not dissimilar to watching a sunset. One chapter complements the other, as colors do around the sinking sphere; taken apart, the ideas in each chapter are interesting; taken together, the mosaic of scholarship is striking.' Journal of British Studies '[ The essays] provide valuable new information, enlarging our understanding of later medieval institutions and practices.' English Historical Review 'The collection as a whole is a fitting tribute to the wide-ranging scholarship of Barbara Hanawalt. Students of medieval society will find in it a variety of approaches and a demonstration of the vitality of this field.' Sehepunkte "All together, this volume is a fitting tribute to the life and work of Barbara Hanawalt. There is no one working in late medieval England today whose methods and conclusions are uninformed by Hanawalts work, and as these essays show, her methods and legacy will be adaptable to the next generation of medieval studies." - Lois L. Huneycutt, Medieval Institute Publications
