Excellent introduction to & overview of the subject,

This review is from: A Companion to the Anglo-Norman World (Hardcover)
Publishing in Anglo-Norman studies has grown tremendously in the past thirty years, since the Norman Conquest was introduced as a special subject at the University of London, and the editors conceived this anthology as an overview of the present state of the field, with emphasis on topics in politics and culture - and not much at all on military matters, covered in detail by the essays in Strickland's Anglo-Norman Warfare (1992), to which this might be considered a companion volume. The eleven contributors, all well-known specialists, include Marjorie Chibnall on "Feudalism and Lordship" and Lesley Abrams on "England, Normandy and Scandinavia," both of which are excellent. Elisabeth van Houts's survey of historical writing is also very useful.
