'throughout the tenth century, to which he contributed so much. . . . One of the many admirable qualities of this book is the way in which it combines careful scholarship with whole-hearted commitment to its subject. For Douglas Dales the Church's past is not something remote and irrelevant. It is a living resource for us today.' - A.M. Allchin, in the Church Times'This well researched biography is a suitable reminder of the greatest monastic reformer of his day, who was also a gifted craftsman,caligrapher and artist. . . . Dunstan is a towering example of the power for good which is the Benedictine way of life, still a force after 1500 years.' - The Catholic Herald
'Douglas Dales earns our thanks for allowing us to enter so fully into the life and times of Dunstan, and to find there a reason to celebrate his millenium.' - Esther de Waal, in The Tablet
