The Knight and Chivalry by Richard Barber
Revised and fully updated version of a seminal work in the field of chivalry.
[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. [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 *
