a tremendous achievement, demonstrating mastery over half a dozen fields of scholarship.
David Abulafia, THES
Wickham's work is groundbreaking ... Some of his conclusions may and should be debated, but they rest on an array of evidence and on a series of complex atguments that further discussions should not ignore.
