"If you didn't get the Christmas present you wanted this year, here's a decent consolation prize: twenty brand-new open access books you can read for free. Open access publishing has become one of the best things to happen to medieval studies in recent years-especially for readers without easy access to a university library. More and more academic presses and research projects are putting entire monographs online at no cost,"
"This book offers the first complete English translation of one of the key sources for Thomas Becket: Benedict of Peterborough's Passion and Miracles of St Thomas Becket. Written in the immediate aftermath of Becket's murder in Canterbury Cathedral on 29 December 1170, it recounts the killing and records around 275 early miracles from 1171-1173, showing how Becket's cult spread with startling speed across Europe."
Open access publishing has significantly expanded availability of medieval studies scholarship, enabling readers without university library access to consult new monographs at no cost. Twenty recent titles are fully open access and target medievalists seeking research materials, teaching resources, or leisurely study. The collection includes the first complete English translation of Benedict of Peterborough's Passion and Miracles of St Thomas Becket, written after Becket's 1170 murder and documenting about 275 miracles between 1171 and 1173, accompanied by introduction, notes, and appendices. Another title, Feeding Medieval England, examines the population boom between the tenth and thirteenth centuries and investigates how farmers produced larger grain harvests.
