The Northern Lands: Germanic Europe, c.1270 - c.1500

“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)
