Press notices: books published in 2011

Updated December 31st, 2011

This page lists some recently published books and other items of interest to medievalists. A new list is published here every month (Click here to see titles published in previous lists).

The titles listed are not held in stock by medievalbookshop (except where a copy becomes available as a secondhand or unused bargain), but in most cases links are provided to Amazon UK so that you can buy copies there.

Any retail bookseller should be able to assist with obtaining copies if you quote the ISBN number listed (except where items are described as for members or subscribers, in which case you may need to contact the relevant society). Where available, links to the publisher's websites are also provided in the left-hand column so that you can order direct from.

Please note that all details are subject to change, and in particular prices may be other than as stated in these descriptions (especially where details are supplied in advance); any title may go out of print, or be superseded by a different edition. Publication can be subject to unforseen delays, so no guarantee is offered that these titles are currently available - please check with the publisher for up-to-date information.

These are not independent reviews - all information and descriptive matter is supplied by the advertisers and medievalbookshop is not responsible for any opinion or information quoted. It is recommended that wherever possible you should seek out independent reviews before purchase, in established journals, or through sites such as The Medieval Review or Reviews in History.

You are welcome to use the links at the top of this page to submit or recommend items for future inclusion.
