Media Reviews
'It is a welcome addition to a field of scholarship that rarely discusses the Frankish Empire, preferring instead either to end studies in late antiquity or to begin with the Gregorian reforms. Stone's monograph is particularly impressive in its ability to reconstruct a general sense of prevailing cultural attitudes from diverse sources without falling into the trap of simplifying and harmonizing them. Moreover, she successfully integrates her investigation into both moral attitudes and questions of masculinity in such a manner that the two potentially divergent topics enrich one another, rather than cause a lack of focus. Stone's conclusions are as insightful as they are reasonable … Scholars working on a variety of subjects will find the work a useful read, while specialists will appreciate the reappraisal of existing theories and the development of original points of interest.' Erin Thomas Dailey, German History
'There are many thought-provoking insights and new arguments to be found in Stone's ambitious book. All scholars of Carolingian Europe, the medieval nobility, and medieval masculinity should read it.' Eric J. Goldberg, Early Medieval Europe
