Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Everyman´s Library: Biography In preparing The Oxford Reformers for publication in Everyman´s Library, it has been thought best to omit many of the notes and some of the appendices. Those have been retained which explained or in any way added to the matter contained in the text. Those which gave the original Latin of translations or referred the reader to sources and authorities, have been omitted. In other respects this volume is reprinted from the third edition (published by Messrs. Longmans, Green & Co.), to which students must still be referred. It is necessary, I think, to begin with this explanation, because my father´s methods in all his historical work were those of a student, gathering his facts from original sources and justifying his conclusions by careful reference to them. But in saying this, I wish to avoid giving the impression that his object was confined to providing an accurate historical record of events. It was from a full and practical life that he devoted what time he could to literary and historical research, and in this he was influenced by the belief that a better understanding of the past would shed light on the problems of the present and of the future. His days were occupied with business and with the affairs of Local Administration and Education. Throughout his life he took a serious and thoughtful part in politics, and was only prevented by the claims of business from entering Parliament. In the endeavours and ideals that underlay the fellow-work of Colet, Erasmus, and More, described in this volume, he found much that corresponded with the desires and difficulties of our own day. Added to this, his study of their thoughts and actions gave him a real admiration for their independence, and love of their characters; his vivid historical insight made him feel they had been almost his companions and friends.
