Reviews

Reviews for 'Britain in the Middle Ages': 'Its argument is a profound and contentious one. Hugely entertaining' Daily Telegraph 'A triumph ! gives us a much better idea of what really went on in Britain a thousand years ago than many a purely document-based history.' TLS 'Highly illuminating. Pryor has produced a very fine synthesis of the key debates in early medieval and medieval archaeology ! Anyone who isn't familiar with these themes will be much enlightened on reading this.' BBC History 'Pryor is that rare combination of a first-rate working archaeologist and a good writer with the priceless ability of being able to explain complex ideas clearly ! he leads one along the highways and byways of archaeology and history, on a sort of walking tour through the past, giving one a flavour of the times ! This is popular archaeology at its best: engaging, knowledgeable and provocative, propelled by the author's zestful, insatiable curiosity.' Times Higher Education Supplement
