Will be useful to those interested in late medieval urban commemorative practice, and it offers some genuinely new insight into the peculiar commemorative environment created by the colleges and their unique educational/spiritual/social role.
MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGY
This is an extremely interesting collection of essays that add up to rather more than the sum of their parts.
RENAISSANCE QUARTERLY
[An] excellent and thought-provoking volume.
ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW
A fine production.
CHURCH MONUMENTS
Splendidly informative.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE CAMBRIDGE ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY
The authors of this book have created a piece that attempts to push our understanding of the dynamics within town and countryside and their effects on networks of commemoration.
THE RICARDIAN
A well-executed volume that serves as the first foray in contextualizing a university town against the multiplicity of commemorative strategies that were available in pre-Reformation England. In a book that draws heavily on material culture, the accompanying images and map are both necessary and excellent.
URBAN HISTORY
This volume is a significant contribution to the study of commemoration in all its various guises and your reviewer has no hesitation in recommending this to all who study commemoration in the Middle Ages.
