Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Hundred Years of History: From Record and Chronicle 1216-1327 I have been led to put together this little book partly to meet the needs of one of my class in this University, and partly from a conviction that more might very well be done than has yet been attempted in England in the way of making accessible to the reader whose knowledge of foreign tongues is rusty, or elementary, or non-existent, such parts of the "sources" for English history as appear particularly instructive or entertaining. The sphere of the source-book is or should be a comparatively humble one. It should never replace the ordinary text-book when the first foundations of historical knowledge are laid at school. Again, its help should be put aside as soon as the student is advanced enough to go to the originals. Yet between these points its usefulness might be extended. Two particular types of reader I have in mind. In the first place there are girls and boys who spend their last year at school in a more specialised and leisured course of study than form-work and examination requirements permitted hitherto. Often one part of such a course consists of a limited period of English history. Now for any date after 1485 teacher and taught alike may go to the fountain-head for information. The sources are in English, and they are cheap, thanks to many excellent reprints now on the market. But for the mediaevalist the case is different. His sources are in Latin or French, lengthy, costly, and difficult, and very little has been done in the way of translation or selection.
