`The notes that accompany the introduction and text are both
valuable and extensive ... readers who love an annotated text and
actually read footnotes will have much pleasure.'
Leah Shopkow, Indiana University
`King's introduction is lengthy and detailed, offering not only a
detailed discussion of the political events of the period William
chronicled ... but a much more complete discussion of William's
career and works before his composition of the HN (his last work)
and a very interesting discussion of how the HN was used and
understood.'

`King's ... rereading of the textual tradtion (however) causes the
text to be reconfigured in a manner which provokes thought.
Professor King has added valuable historical notes and a lengthy
and important historical introduction.'
J.C. Crick, Archives.
`King's annotations and introduction provide a judicious evaluation
of the author's perspective on the politically senstive events he
records, written in a lively and accesible style and full of useful
insights on specific issues... This fine addition to the Oxford
Medieval Texts series throws new light on the working methods of
William of Malmesbury and on the transmission of the texts.'
Judith A. Green, Ecclesiastical History Vol.51 No.1
