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.
