An Original Handwritten and Signed Trinity College Letter by English academic Steven Runciman to Philip Morrell regarding and discussing the Death of His Wife and Friend Lady Ottoline Morrell. Dated 1938. Sir James Cochran Stevenson Runciman 1903 - 2000, known as Steven Runciman, was an English historian best known for his three-volume A History of the Crusades (1951-54). His works had a profound impact on the popular conception of the Crusades within the Western world, although Runciman considered himself "not a historian, but a writer of literature," and British historian Christopher Tyerman considers Runciman's History to be the "last chronicle of the crusades". Runciman summarized the Crusades as "nothing more than a long act of intolerance in the name of God, which is a sin against the Holy Ghost." Size is 180mm x 140mm. Condition is good. Light folding crease. Ref19334. Signed by Author(s).
