Reviews"This book is not just the first edition with a translation of the Peterborough Chronicle, it is a magnificently produced work of scholarship. Lavishly illustrated, it will become the basis for all future work, not just on the Chronicle, but on the worlds that produced it and the history that it records" -- David Bates, Emeritus Professor in Medieval History, University of East Anglia., "Muir is a generous and careful editor who has always paid equal attention to text, manuscript, language, and history; he and Sparks present the Peterborough Chronicle in its many contexts, crafting a bountiful resource that will serve readers for many years to come" -- R. M. Liuzza, University of Tennessee-Knoxville., "This welcome edition of The Peterborough Chronicle presents a wealth of information and analysis, opening up an important text for the study of early English history, language, and culture" -- Susan E. Deskis, Professor of English, emerita, Northern Illinois University.
