Description: The variety of approaches and diverse materials discussed in this collection spark exciting possibilities and avenues for future research. Where this volume most noticeably contributes new knowledge on perceptions of the past in the post-Conquest historiography of England is its inclusion of analyses of lesser-known texts and historical figures alongside the better-known works of history writing.-- "PARERGON"
