- "His research centered on the career of Henry I of England; his biography of that monarch, set back at a late stage by the loss of his manuscript and note cards and his entire research library in the Santa Barbara fire of 1990, was incomplete at the time of his death but subsequently finished by his doctoral student Amanda Clark Frost."

a re-read from college while i wait for library books to come in.
Excellent, brief history of England from the pre-Roman times to 1399. The author has a clear style and is remarkably free of sentimental opinions. Hollister understands how to judge events and people within the context of their times and doesn't automatically dismiss higher motivations in favor of baser allegations.
Hollister is also a well-respected historian of the period, showing up in many footnotes and bibliographies.

Medieval Europe: A Short History claims to be the most popular textbook on its subject. I have no reason to doubt that. It is clear, well-organized, and up to date in its historical methods. Judith Bennett is an expert in the women’s history of the period, and I understand there is now a twelfth edition that adds new archeological evidence and material on race and diversity. It has more cultural history and less war and politics than the histories I grew up with. It is very readable, and I read it so quickly, I am sure I could not pass a test; but it does have links to web materials that would help me get ready for one. It does a good job of pointing out the interplay between the Eastern and Western churches and the influence of Islamic culture. The Middle Ages weren’t all plagues, knights and crusades.… (meer)
