Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Companion to English History: Middle Ages Although this volume is designed primarily for higher educational purposes, it is believed that it will also prove of interest to the reading public at large. The portion of history covered by the general scheme of the book is the medieval period. It being however manifestly impossible that every one of the twelve Sections, dealing as they do with topics so diverse, should be comprised between the same pair of fixed dates, it was arranged that the volume, as a whole, should begin with the English Conquest of Britain and end with the close of the sixteenth century; but that any special and important subject, or branch of a subject, which died out in the natural course of things before 1700, might be completed, if its completion were necessary or conducive to a clear understanding of it. There was little difficulty in establishing a uniformity of beginning except as regards Section IX, in which, owing to the Irish origin of the Christianity of Northern England, the account of monasticism had to be carried back to British times. Here and there may be found a slight overlapping in several of the Sections; but this, apart from being unavoidable, will not be without its advantage in illustrating the connexion and interdependence of the matters treated. The concluding Section, too, is to some extent a summary of, and commentary upon, certain of the preceding chapters.
