Media Reviews

This admirable collection of essays contains a well-chosen group of articles from the past two centuries devoted to the interpretation of the Bayeux Tapestry... As a general editor who has selected well and guided astutely, and as an original contributor with a well-founded and persuasive opinion on many themes, Dr Gameson's achievement is a notable one. HISTORY Eleven `classic' studies...allow the reader to trace the development of opinion on, for example, the tapestry's accuracy of historical witness and its relation to other records of the Conquest. The sweep of these essays also makes visible the ways in which scholarly protocols for approaching the enigmatic object have changed over time... Useful archive. * MEDIUM AEVUM Excellent volume.
