The Knight and Chivalry: Revised edition
(Revised version of the award-winning 1970 edition...takes into account much of the serious scholarship published during the industrious quarter-century since.) Splendidly presented... The book's great strength lies not only in its treatment of tournaments but also of literature; it also assuredly handles the interaction between chivalry and church and state... an excellent, comprehensive summary of medieval chivalry. Warmly recommended. HISTORY TODAY (SEAN MCGLYNN) (Extensively revised to take account of the abundant research on chivalry, some of it Richard Barber's own, since the book first appeared.) It combines scholarship of content with the handsomeness of a coffee-table book. MEDIUM AEVUM
