Reviews

'... an immensely valuable addition to the scholarship on this twelfth-century epic, providing important analysis of Anna's work as a piece of literature. Buckley's achievement is to produce a thought-provoking and well-written literary analysis that will surely stimulate further debate on how modern scholars view Anna as an author.' Elisabeth Mincin, Reviews in History
