Media Reviews
A high-end collection, well produced, with endlessly detailed information about various aspects of chivalry in the Middle Ages and beyond. A pleasure to read and from which to learn. * STUDIES IN MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE TEACHING (SMART) *
A Companion to Chivalry provides a masterful summary of half a century of scholarship on medieval chivalry, and will undoubtedly prove a useful reference point for graduate students, whilst clarifying for specialists the current state of the existing scholarship, as well as new avenues worth exploring in the future. * THE MEDIEVAL REVIEW *
A Companion to Chivalry is an elegant, well-considered volume that is of interest to both students and specialists, [...] it is a must-have for university libraries. * NOTTINGHAM MEDIEVAL STUDIES *
Overall this is a superb collection, a suitable companion to Keen's 1984 masterpiece, Chivalry. It usefully updates and expands Keen's work, highlighting subsequent scholarship and serving as a roadmap for students and scholars interested in chivalric ideas. * H-NET *
En conclusion, A Companion to Chivalry - qui aurait pu s'intituler A Companion to Chivalries, compte tenu de la multiplicité des démarches - remplit sa mission. Cet ouvrage trouvera sa place entre les mains des étudiants comme des spécialistes, d'autant plus que l'objet-livre lui-même, en couleurs sur papier glacé, est d'une facture admirable. * SOCIAL HISTORY / HISTOIRE SOCIALE *
