Anmeldelser
«[T]he volume provides a much needed and significant addition to the panoply of published British urban castles (including Oxford and Norwich) and is a fine example of its type.»
Speculum
«The text is written specifically to avoid specialist terminology (there is a glossary at the back) and to be intelligible to a wider readership. Full colour is used to stunning effect throughout, with as much emphasis on representations of the archaeological process as results. It is a real achievement to present such a comprehensive account so concisely as well as attractively. … Visually stunning and combining communication of new primary research with a concise, accessible text, the volume is a model of its type and highly recommended.»
Medieval Archaeology
«The book caters for the specialist and non-specialist alike … It is lavishly illustrated with photographs, diagrams, maps, tables and reconstructions, making it a book to which the reader will want to keep going back … A good benchmark for how a well-funded excavation should be presented to the public.»
The Local Historian
«A book you’ll want to return to again and again, as it takes you on a journey deep into the heart and soul of this most remarkable place.»
Lincoln Archaeology
«It's very good, accessible yet scholarly […] The material on the prison is fascinating.»
British Archaeology
«The book is superbly balanced … while the archaeology is explored in a good level of detail, the text retains an accessible and engaging style throughout that will appeal to a broad audience. Wonderfully illustrated with colour photos, maps and plans, this high quality volume represents a fitting tribute to one of Europe’s most exceptional castles.»
