Middle English Literature
This book provides a boldly original account of Middle English literature from the Norman Conquest to the beginning of the sixteenth century. It argues that these centuries are, in fundamental ways, the momentous period in our literary history, for they are the long moment in which the category of literature itself emerged as English writing began to insist, for the first time, that it floated free of any social reality or function.

Wales and the Welsh in the Middle Ages
This is a major contribution to the study of medieval Wales by a group of outstanding British historians, writing in honour of one of Wales's most distinguished scholars and the biographer of Prince Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. The essays reflect exciting trends in the study of both Wales and the Middle Ages, including church building, chronicle writing, the comparative history of the law, valuable reassessments of town life and the implications of the Edwardian conquest of Wales.
Free and Public
The first study of the Carnegie libraries built in Wales in the Edwardian Age. As ‘the richest man in the world’, the book illustrates Carnegie’s commitment to the provision of free and public libraries for all, regardless of age and gender. The buildings were – and in many cases still are − at the heart of towns and industrial communities across Wales (as they were elsewhere in the USA and the British Empire). The libraries shed light on the social, political, cultural and architectural history of Edwardian Wales.
The Principality of Wales in the Later Middle Ages
An original study without rival. Comprehensive in its coverage of government and society. Appreciative reviews of the original edition and shown to be valuable to a range of scholars, writers and others.
