'His long and absorbing book may, however, be fairly categorized as
the best mind of constitutional history'
Times Higher Educational Supplement
'a valuable contribution ... this is a study which has set at least
one reader thinking about the wider implications of the issues
which it raises'
Times Literary Supplement
'substantial and informative work ... Its value lies not so much in
the originality of its ideas or the novelty of its sources, but in
its clear and vigorous synthesis of a huge literature relating to
its major themes. It is strongly comparative in approach ...
Students of English and French medieval society at every level will
find much to ponder in his thoughtful and authoritative work.'
French History
'as is always the case with this publisher, is beautifully produced
... a fascinating comparison of the conditions in which government
operated and of its differing achievements in the two
countries'
Journal of Medieval History
'stimulating and informative ... Because the examination of the
interaction of such momentous forces as war, centralization of
authority, maintenance of order, administration of justice, and
provision of security is so thorough and so acute this study will
also furnish valuable insights to those primarily interested in the
history of other times and other places.'
Richard Jones, Reed College. Albion
