Exploring Castles

Originally published in 1957, Exploring Castles examines the 'classic' castle story. The book traces the origins of castles across England and Scotland, from the early Norman Castles, to Edwardian, all the way up to the modern castles. The book case studies on individual castles, such as Newcastle upon Tynes castle, and the coverage of Scottish Tower Houses. The book looks at the influence of historic concepts surrounding the building of castles, such bastard feudalism'. This book will be of interest to academics and students of history alike.
