Documenting Warfare: Records of the Hundred Years War, Edited and Translated in Honour of Anne Curry
Edited by Rémy Ambühl and Andy King
The Boydell Press
ISBN: 978-1-83765-024-8
Administrative records offer a lot of insights into the Hundred Years’ War. This collection of 18 articles tells us about a wide range of topics, from ransoms to crimes on campaign.
Excerpt:
Our chosen approach is perhaps slightly out of the ordinary for a festschrift, but it arose naturally, as a matter of course, for two main reasons. The first is that it combines three underlying components of Anne Curry’s research interests: firstly, at the heart of her work, the use of archival documents, and their editing and translation; secondly, the theme of war, its organisation, conduct and its men and women; and thirdly, the context of the Hundred Years War (1337–1453). Our readers who wish to know more about how our honor and has contributed to these particular aspects of scholarship, and indeed to many others – Anne’s scholarship does not lack breadth – will be well served by Michael Jones and Tony Pollard’s appreciation at the end of the volume, followed by an essay by Veronique Gazeau which highlights Anne’s close links to Normandy.
Who is this book for?
This collection of essays is dedicated to Anne Curry, one of the most influential historians of the Hundred Years’ War. Anyone familiar with her work will enjoy this book, as it offers much to the study of medieval military history.
“On the whole, Documenting Warfare is an excellent book, both as a testament to the influence of Anne Curry and in its own right as a volume on the Hundred Years War. These chapters and sources will provide a valuable resource for years to come and hopefully they may even spark further research questions as they frequently cover less explored aspects of the war. A tremendous book that the editors and contributors, as well as Curry herself, should be very proud of.” ~ review by Stuart Ellis-Gorman on De Re Militari
