“Reading Women is a rich and compelling addition to the author’s earlier work on the pan-European culture of Bohemia, especially as popularized in England by Richard II’s Queen Anne.” (Linda Burke, Mediaevistik, Vol. 31 (1), 2018)
"Alfred Thomas makes some important advances in our understanding of the affiliations between Bohemia and Britain in the later middle ages - a field of study attracting a rapid growth of interest. This coherent and persuasive study will appeal not only to Chaucerians but also to those working on patronage, cultural transmission, literary influence, gender, saints' lives, and European literature, among many other topics. Alfred Thomas's connectivity with a range of ongoing debates is impressive." - Peter Brown, Professor of English, University of Kent, UK
