Rezension zu „The Northern Lands “
"This is an important, indeed a highly contemporary book. Moreover, David Nicholas is the only scholar alive who could undertake such a study, since it requires a comprehensive knowledge of the sources and literature of four areas customarily studied separately: Germany, England, the Low Countries and Scandinavia." Stuart Jenks, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg
Pressezitat
"The Northern Lands is a learned work, and its premises are thought-provoking, but it is not quite the synthesis that readers might expect." (English Historical Review, 2012)"The Northern Lands is an unusual, brave, and challenging work of a sort to be attempted only by a widely read medievalist . . . more generous-minded medievalists, whatever their special interests, will benefit from reading and pondering this bold, interesting, and valuable book." (Speculuma Journal of Medieval Studies, 1 July 2010)
"Nicholas's scholarly range in this work is impressive." (Alpata, Spring 2010)
"The frequent citations to an extensive bibliography make this a valuable reference and resource for collections in English history or other national surveys." (CHOICE, September 2009) "Well worth reading, and has to be acknowledged as a significant contribution to the writings on northern European history." (The Medieval Review, February 2010)
