R. Davies 'Professor R. R. Davies's book is one of the most impressive and valuable monographs written on the history of Wales during this century a superbly documented, artistically rounded, rigorously argued and pungently written study, immediately recognizable as a classic account which will hold its ground for decades to come Prominent among Professor Davies's merits are the exquisite lucidity and the sharp edge of his writing It is a powerful contribution not only to Welsh history but to our understanding of medieval Britain and Europe.' Glanmor Williams in the Western Mail. £ 15 The Anglo-Norman Era in Scottish History G. W. S. Barrow This book examines the continental (mainly Norman) and insular (mainly English) influences at work in Scotland, under the patronage of the royal house, from 1093 to 1286, and the large-scale foreign settlement, mainly in the lowlands, which characterized this period. The latter was especially important for the development of the late medieval Scottish kingdom: feudal, though with its own brand of feudalism, largely English-speaking, and fiercely nationalist. £ 1 7.50 The Ford Lectures, 1977
