Cornell University Press, Date: 2013-10-15. Hardcover. Very Good. 9x6x1. Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Jacket slightly sunned. Clean, unmarked pages. <br> "Writing History for the King features a reevaluation of the reign of Henry II, who has traditionally been considered the most secure and powerful king of England in the High Middle Ages. Charity Urbanski suggests that Henry's authority in England and Normandy was 'remarkably tenuous in some ways' and that the future of his dynasty was far from certain. Urbanski argues that Henry II commissioned Wace and Benoît de Sainte-Maure to provide a legitimizing, genealogically framed account of early Norman history that would strengthen and ultimately secure his legitimacy. Urbanski's lucid and fluidly written book is novel in its interpretation both of the texts under consideration and their function, and of the political situation that originally engendered them. Everyone interested in Anglo-Norman historiography will want to read Writing History for the King." - Gabrielle Spiegel, Krieger-Eisenhower Professor of History, Johns Hopkins University 2013.
