Plantagnets and knight extraordinaire.
Georges Duby, one of this century’s great medieval historians,
has brought to life with exceptional brilliance and imagination
William Marshal, adviser to the Plantagenets, knight
extraordinaire, the flower of chivalry. A marvel of historical
reconstruction, William Marshal is based on a biographical poem
written in the thirteenth century, and offers an evocation of
chivalric life — the contests and tournaments, the rites of war,
the daily details of medieval existence — unlike any we have ever
seen.
An enchanting and profoundly instructive book….Owing in signal
part to the imaginative scholarship of Georges Duby, darkness is
more and more receding from the Dark Ages.”
George Steiner
New Yorker
“A small masterpiece of its genre….It is a splendid story and
Professor Duby tells it splendidly….Duby has reconstructed a
living picture of a particular sector of society at a crucial
moment, at the brink of great change. The vividness, the intimacy,
and the historical perception with which he presents his picture of
the fascinating and eventful life of the Marshal, and of the world
in which he lived, will win him readers not just among scholars,
but among all who are drawn by the unending interest of the
humanity of the human past.”
New York Review of Books
“Duby succeeds wonderfully….Everything works.”
