England in Europe: English Royal Women and Literary Patronage, c.1000–c.1150

"England in Europe is by any measure a groundbreaking book. It will change the ways in which we understand royal female patronage, medieval classicism, and literary production in eleventh-century England…"

Stacy S. Klein, Rutgers University, Speculum vol. 93 no. 4, Oct 2018

"Elizabeth Tyler’s transformative study of English queens’ patronage of Latin literature in the eleventh and early twelfth centuries builds, in new and adventurous ways, on developments in the study of late Anglo-Saxon culture that have occurred over the last two or three decades."

Stephanie Hollis, The University of Auckland, Parergon 35.1

"Tyler’s grasp of the historiography and her command of the primary material provides a solid framework to untangle the rich and detailed layers of meaning evident in her complex source material and as such opens up new ways of reading familiar works…."

Leonie V. Hicks, Canterbury Christ Church University, Early Medieval Europe, vol 27: 1

"Elizabeth M. Tyler tackles a series of important topics including women’s Latin literacy, the nature of historical writing and fictions, and the place of eleventh-century England in European Latin culture. England in Europe is a sobering and significant counter to the linguistic nationalism which has dominated much of English literary history."

Elizabeth van Houts, Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge

"England in Europe is the first major study to address the topic of the role royal women in England played in the composition of literary texts. It is a great tribute to Elizabeth M. Tyler that she manages to tell a wonderfully coherent, original, and fresh story of the queens before, during, and after the two conquests of England in the eleventh century."
