Description: First complete translation of detailed chronicle of medieval England, one of Shakespeare's most important sources.
Brief description: James G. Clark is Professor of History at the University of Exeter. He has published widely on the later Middle Ages and early modern period, most recently The Dissolution of the Monasteries (Yale, 2021)
Review Quotes: A rollicking, passionate, fluent work that captures nicely the studied informality of Walsingham's prose. [...] In short, this is a terrific translation of a very entertaining chronicle. College and university libraries and researchers tired of slogging through the Rolls Series Latin versions without an effective and accurate English version at hand should seriously consider adding this one to their collections.-- "THE MEDIEVAL REVIEW"
