Speculum
(April 2002)
"Essential in Bemroses intent to reach a wider audience is the oral tone of his writing style. His voice emerges from paper sounding not like a university lecturer, in the Barbi tradition, but sounding instead like the narrator of an educational documentary on BBC radio or television. Bemrose wants to bring history alive, wants to convey to listeners the thrill of learning for the sake of learning about an era in which popes battle popes for precedence."
