Reviews

These essays will spark novel investigations in all the areas of chronicle study highlighted....The volume achieves its aims admirably, both to honour Lister's memory and scholarship and open up new avenues for further investigation.
*ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW*

A solid and absorbing volume, full of information, and essential for all researchers on the English medieval Chronicle.
*MODERN LANGUAGE REVIEW*

Opens up new avenues for scholarship that are rich with opportunity, but it also shows how much work remains incomplete in the study of medieval chronicles and their manuscripts.
*CERAE*

The volume usefully brings together several threads of scholarship on the Prose Brut and on medieval chronicles, with chapters providing varied approaches and offering a great deal of new evidence about the manuscripts ... The chapters in this volume stand as testimony to the influence of Matheson's work and do credit to his memory. The volume is indispensable to scholars with an interest in the Prose Brut and in late medieval English chronicles.
