CROSLAND, JESSIE. - Sir John Fastolfe. A Medieval 'Man of Property'.

London: Peter Owen, 1970. First British Commonwealth edition. "Sir John has been unfortunate in that a somewhat unjust reputation for cowardice, reported in the chronicles of his day, was adopted by Shakespeare and thus much publicized. The similarity between the names of Fastolfe and Shakespeare's comic hero, Falstaff, has led to a certain confusion between the two personalities..It has to be admitted that Sir John Fastolfe is not a very lovable character..An attempt has been made to do justice to the charcter of someone who was respected, even by those who feared him, and who inspired the building of the magnificent Caister Castle on the Norfolk coast." Pp.77, 7 black & white illustrations. Red cloth. VG.
