Making a Living in the Middle Ages: The People of Britain, 850-1520
The series in which Christopher Dyer's excellent new work appears already has generated comment, much of it lauding the content of the books but an equal amount criticizing their format. In the case of Dyer's book, perhaps it would be preferable to deal with these latter criticisms before examining the former. Professional historians will immediately be struck by the fact that despite the enormous breadth of scholarship so amply demonstrated in Dyer's pages, there are no footnotes and the scholarly apparatus is limited to a rather short select bibliography. Most if not all reviewers of the books in this series? And I must now add myself to the list? have found this omission enormously frustrating and judge that to an important extent it mitigates their usefulness for scholars and students alike.
