Each year, the Castle Studies Group Journal includes a selection of expert reviews covering the latest publications in the field of castle studies. These reviews assess new books on the history, architecture, archaeology, and significance of castles and fortifications, offering critical insights from leading scholars.

 

Our reviewers—drawn from the CSG’s expert membership—evaluate each work in terms of its contribution to the field, the strength of its research, and its relevance to both specialists and enthusiasts. By highlighting key findings, methodologies, and debates, these reviews provide a valuable guide to recent scholarship.

 

Whether you are a researcher, student, or castle enthusiast, the CSG Journal’s book review section serves as an essential resource for staying up to date with the latest studies in castle history, archaeology, and interpretation.
