SOMERSET HISTORICAL ESSAYS by J. Armitage Robinson

Description

The writer of this book makes no claim to be a historian, but he is concerned with the materials which go to the construction of true history. Occasionally he is led to revise the verdicts of historians on the ground of a renewed investigation of some isolated problem, or in the light of fuller information which has but lately become available. Essays include William of MalmesburyThe Saxon Abbots of GlastonburyThe First Deans of WellsEarly Somerset ArchdeaconsPeter of BloisBishop Jocelin and the InterdictAn excellent book for those who are looking to expand their knowledge of Somerset's past.
