Review
"Paul Strohm's strikingly original . . . book offers rich opportunities for thinking about the relationships between textual analysis and historical understanding. . . . [His] analysis of Lancastrian texts and imagination will undoubtedly prove immensely energizing in medieval English literary and cultural studies. If its full implications for medieval history are also recognized and explored, its impact will be even more profound and enduring." Review of English Studies"
"[Henry IV's] usurpation stands exposed as a scandalous rupture in the line of succession. Strohm's powerfully argued book deals with the usurper's efforts to mend the rift with lies and propaganda, and explores the unpredictable and often fantastical forms in which the Lancastrian repressed staged its return." Times Literary Supplement"
"England's Empty Throne . . . confirms Paul Strohm's extraordinary ability to disclose and interpret elements of social and political contestation in texts produced in late medieval England, even (or especially) when such disclosure seems farthest from the overt intent of their composers or sponsors." Arthuriana"
