Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 1981 Oxford University Press hardcover edition. Ex library copy with stamps and labels else good condition. From the dustjacket: Sir Richard Southern was a fellow and tutor of Balliol College, Oxford, from 1937 to 1961, Chichele Professor of Modern History from 1961 to 1969, and since 1969 has been President of St. John's College, Oxford. In this book will be found seventeen essays by his old pupils on various aspects of a subject which he made particularly his own, The Writing of History in the Middle Ages. Ranging from the eighth century to the fifteenth, and from Scotland to Byzantium, the essays illustrate both the unity and the breadth of Sir Richard's teaching. Norman and Anglo-Norman historians (from Worcester to Bec-Hellouin, and Bec-Hellouin to Salerno) receive special attention, but there are also studies of confession and sermons as historical sources; of legal history and chivalrous history; of German town chroniclers; and of the biographer of King Henry VI. All these essays are original contributions to their subject, containing new material, and in several cases preparing the ground for new editions. In some measure they illustrate the combination of profound scholarship, sympathetic understanding, and literary form which are the hallmarks of Sir Richard's own work.
