From the Back Cover
Compiled by Francis Godwin James, this volume introduces the main currents of medieval English life through primary sources that combine literary merit and human interest with meaningful historical evidence.
Neither a collection of documents nor modern interpretative essays, these selections provide a basic understanding of the values of the medieval world, with each text conveying a distinct impression of that period of history. This anthology is designed to meet the needs of the ordinary survey course by supplementing, rather than reiterating. Introductory and explanatory remarks precede each selection.
Dr. James was a professor at Tulane University, where he taught European, British, and Irish history. His previously published works include North Country Bishop and Ireland in the Empire, 1688-1770.
