Spiegal (history, Johns Hopkins U.) reads long familiar medieval histories and chronicles in light of the critical-theoretical problems raised by postmodernism. She advocates a method of analysis that recognizes the texts both as artifice and as works deeply embedded in a historically determinate and knowable world. Versions of all but two of the 11 chapters have been published previously. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

"Successful in its entirety, as parts and as a whole. It is lucid, acute, deeply humane in the author's ongoing project of understanding the medieval past and the history-making present. It is a reader-friendly book in the very best sense. It is good theory and good history: postmodernism without apocalyptic posing, exhilarating and humane." -- Nancy F. Partner, McGill University
This study of familiar medieval histories and chronicles argues that the historian should be aware of the discursive nature, literary modes, and ideological investments of such texts as well as the social circumstances to which they were applied and by which they were generated.
