A Superb and Illuminating History,
By medelliana (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From Domesday Book to Magna Carta 1087-1216 (Oxford Paperbacks) (Paperback)
This book is one of my favorite histories of Medieval England- it is thorough and expansive but at the same time concise. It covers all the major issues of the time, from the rulers' personalities to the prevailing social issues. However, far from being a dry list of facts I found it very well-written, and surprisingly engaging! It is rare that I find myself captivated by a piece of thoroughly researched history. Nor can you doubt his accuracy, Poole's facts are obviously meticulously collected from both primary and secondary sources. I reccommend this book both to the casual learner and the more hardheaded scholar.
