George Gordon Coulton vestigde zijn naam door zijn strenge toewijding aan historische nauwkeurigheid, met name in zijn wetenschappelijk werk over de middeleeuwen. Zijn werk werd gekenmerkt door een diepgaande analyse van primaire bronnen en richtte zich vaak op de sociale en economische aspecten van de middeleeuwse samenleving. Coulton ging zonder vrees de controverse aan met degenen die hij als historisch onnauwkeurig beschouwde, en benadrukte dat eigentijdse, correct geciteerde bronnen de hoeksteen van historische studie vormden. Naast zijn controversiële reputatie wordt hij herinnerd om zijn omvangrijke wetenschap die de reikwijdte van middeleeuwse studies verbreedde. Hij streefde er ook naar zijn kennis toegankelijk te maken voor een breder publiek, en was daarbij een helder en welbespraakt schrijver.
