Legends, Tradition and History in Medieval England Hardback
by Antonia Gransden
Hardback
Description
In this collection of essays, Antonia Gransden brings out the virtues of medieval writers and highlights their attitudes and habits of thought.
She traces the continuing influence of Bede, the greatest of early medieval English historians, from his death to the 16th century.
Bede's clarity and authority were welcomed by generations of monastic historians.
At the other end is a humble 14th-century chronicle produced at Lynn with little to add other than a few local references.
