'The whole oeuvre is remarkable for two things: its ability to
bring the reader into a sense of intimate encounter with these old
friends of Southern himself; and the undiminished freshness of the
writing. As always with Southern, the newness comes from the
insights rather than from the discoveries; yet, as always there are
discoveries, especially where a controversial point has to be
argued. Such points are pressed with the characteristic vigour, and
even if not all fellow-scholars will agree with the conclusions
none will come away with his previous ideas in quite the same order
... In every part of the text the quite peculiar charm of the
twelfth century is allowed to be distinctively itself.' Journal
of Theological Studies
'We can be grateful to Lesley Smith and Benedict Ward for their
efforts to bring us this volume, a gift from the master of the
modern masters.' Journal of Religion
"R.W. Southern has been worth spending time with, his own humanism, wisdom, and insight always evident, always enlightening." Paul Edward Dutton
