Reviews

  • "This is a fine book and deserves a wide readership. .. is far more than a just an excellent and information-packed introduction to the maritime history of medieval Europe. Enlivened with many quotes from contemporary poems and letters, it inspires one to want to find out more." - The Authors Journal Compilation

  • "Lucid and engagingly written, learned and tellingly supported by well-chosen anecdotes ... cannot fail to inform." - Southern History

  • "An accessible and broad overview of medieval maritime activities for the non-specialist but interested reader...Rose does an excellent job." -Wendy R. Childs, International Journal of Maritime History, Vol. 21, 2009

  • "Each chapter in The Medieval Sea is admirable in its own right, but Dr Rose excels in her examination of seaborne trade and merchant communities ... which is representative of how the author has tackled, effectively, such a large subject." - Mariners Mirror
