Authors, Factions, and Courts in Angevin England A Literature of Personal Ambition (12th–13th Century)

“It is a welcome addition to the analyses of medieval writers operating in the Angevin realms, and provides a deeper biographical and political background of Walter Map and Gerald of Wales. … This monograph would be suitable for third-year undergraduate students and above. Ultimately, it offers a new and interesting methodological approach to two well-known writers of the Angevin courts, and De Falco’s expertise in twelfth-century courts and their writers shines through in this volume.” (Gabrielle Storey, Speculum, Vol. 101 (1), January, 2026)
