Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an account of the notable authors from the Church of England, from its inception to the late middle ages. Before the Norman Conquest, nearly all important English writing arose from ecclesiastical circles, and the author offers a journey through this literary landscape, examining historical developments alongside these writings. Many of these works were chronicles or histories, and by studying them, the author explores what it was to write history in England during these centuries. Other works took the form of sermons, saints' lives, and theological treatises, which allow for an examination of how the Church of England developed its central themes and controversies. This impressive study enhances our understanding of the social and intellectual culture of the time and the significant part that the Church played in shaping the cultural legacy of England.
