Editorial Reviews

"An astonishing display of the editor's craft....[W]hat McGurk has so masterfully tackled is the relation between the account of John, monk of Worcester and cathedral prior for many years until his death some time after 1140, and those of the other witnesses in the richest age of English chronicle writing."—Richard W. Pfaff, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
