Holland at her best

Holland may be the best of all historical writers at capturing the mentalities of the people of past eras. In The Lords of Vaumartin, chivalry vies with political realism, and royal privilege clashes with the nascent self-awareness of scholars and burghers. War and the Black Death add excitement, but are not the real themes of this startlingly subtle book.
