'One final note in favor of this volume is the frequency of cross-references between the essays: Burger’s essay makes good use of Kuipers’s argument, Seaman cites Burger, Critten cites Radulescu, etc. These connections not only strengthen the volume’s coherence, but make a good case for the household as meaningful field of study.'Studies in the Age of Chaucer'Glenn Burger and Rory Critten’s well-edited collection gives new dimension to topics often associated either with medieval universities or the royal household...The underlying question of medieval practicality stands to be the core of important future work for which this collection, with its range of theoretical and historical approaches and effective footnotes, is an intelligent and well-rounded resource.'Arthuriana
