*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
William of Newburgh was a twelfth century historian and Augustinian canon of Anglo-Saxon descent. He wrote one of the most valuable historical works on eleventh and twelfth century England, covering the period from the Norman Conquest of 1066 to 1198. The text is especially notable for its analysis of cause and effect in the anarchic reign of King Stephen (1135-54). Regarded by some as the father of historical criticism, William is notable for being sincere, critical and not politically motivated. His ‘Historia rerum Anglicarum’ is composed in an engaging style, containing fascinating stories and glimpses of twelfth century life in medieval England. Delphi’s Medieval Library provides eReaders with rare and precious works of the Middle Ages, with noted English translations and the original texts. This eBook presents William’s complete works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
