Walsham's coverage is thorough, and the texture of the book is accordingly dense. Her material is thoroughly documented and she has made an extensive survey of the original sources.
There are few major surprises -- such as there are tend to appear in the latter part of the book, regarding invented traditions (she draws explicitly on Hobsbawm's The Invention of Tradition) -- for example, she is unable to find any evidence for the story of St. Joseph of Arimathea and the Glastonbury thorn prior to the Reformation. (Note that the story of St. Joseph visiting Britain is earlier (it's in some of the Lancelot cycle, IIRC) but the specific link with Glastonbury, and with the Christmas-flowering thorn, is later.) However, her accumulation of details not only fills out the broadly expected narrative but provides evidence of the complexity of detail and local variation within the broadly expected outlines. ( )
