Joan of Arc and Richard III by Charles T Wood

This book is intended for scholars and students of medieval European (especially English and French) history.
There are many reasons why Professor Wood's study of French and English history in the late Middle Ages is a notably satisfying book.. Wood has style, both in curiosity and diction, and fortunately he enjoys displaying it... These mature reflections are calculated to excite students and to provoke their teachers out of routine responses. C.M.D. Crowder, Speculum
Charles T. Wood ... is that rare thing among contemporary American medievalists, an academic gadfly, in the best sense of that term. Instead of taking the 'safe" route, Wood has... alternatively goaded and irked scholars into reconsidering received notions on a variety of (usually) controversial subjects. Joan of Arc and Richard III ... represent(s) Wood's original and provocative interpretation of English and French medieval history. * George Stow, Albion *
