Beskrivning
William of Malmesbury's Regesta Regum Anglorum (Deeds of the English Kings) is one of the great histories of England, and one of the most important historical works of the European Middle Ages. Volume II of the Oxford Medieval Texts edition provides a full historical introduction, a detailed textual commentary, and an extensive bibliography. It forms the essential complement to the text and translation which appeared in Volume I.
The questions of reliability of evidence and William's sources are well addressed in Thomson and Winterbottom's commentary; there are few stones in the Gesta Regum which are left unturned and the critical approach taken in this volume reflects the weight of recent scholarship ... Thomson and Winterbottom have made great strides towards a scholarly understanding of William of Malmesbury's life and work.
