Recensioner i media

'The publication of this volume, the first in what promises to be a distinguished series, is a matter for celebration. This volume is a resounding success at many levels. It provides an accessible narrative of Gwent's pre-Norman past, it embodies the most up-to-date interpretations presented by those who are at the forefront of research and it reveals, as the story proceeds, the working methods, aspirations and sometimes the frustrations of scholars as they piece together the story of the long march of the people of Gwent.' The Monmouthshire Antiquary 'An excellent review of research to date is presented while setting the agenda for future studies'. Bulletin of International Medieval Research"Attractive and substantial book...well-written throughout. It will be referred to regularly as the first place to look for information about pre-Norman Gwent."Martin Locock, National Library of Wales, Archaeology in Wales, vol 45.
