Omschrijving
Describe in this book are William's campaigns in Normandy, the careful preparations he made for the invasion of England, the battle of Hastings and the establishment of Norman power after the conquest. Written from the Norman courts point of view, this edition provides an English translation of the "Gesta Guillelmi of William of Poitiers".
this new edition would fill a gap even if Raymond Foreville's excellent edition of 1952 were not out of print. It is a first-class work of scholarship in every way. The fifty-page introduction, a monograph in itself, is a model of clarity and completeness ... This is an edition that continues the tradition of high scholarly standards of the OMT series and is a delight to use.
This new edition now offers another ten (inspired) amendments, but its principal justification lies with its elaborate annotation and its provision of a parallel English translation ... Chibnall has discharged her responsibilities as editor with commendable thoroughness
The late R. H. C. Davis was Emeritus Professor of the University of Birmingham and an Emeritus Fellow of Merton College, Oxford. Marjorie Chibnall is an Emeritus Fellow of Clare Hall, Cambridge.
