"This book is extremely well researched. Although aspects of this topic have had a voluminous historiography, Jones bases his work on a significant use of archival documents."
(D. Nicholas, in The Medieval Review, 08 June 2008)
"Specialists in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century France will find this book valuable because of Jones's detailed discussions of the authorship and manuscript traditions of numerous chronicles and treatises written in the northern French milieu from the 1240s to 1340s. Within this context, his work on the Grandes Chroniques de France is especially impressive."
(Jonathan R. Lyon, in H-German, H-net Reviews, April 2008)
