| Originally published in 1901, this work contains a wealth of information on various aspects of the history of London during the Medieval period. It is beautifully illustrated and is a fascinating work for anyone with an interest in the history of the capital city of England. The following passage is from the opening chapter:
'Mediaeval London it is a perfectly distinct and real subject, though it might be difficult to give exact dates of beginning and end. Historical periods glide in, and run their course, and fade away or take fresh shape. Yet we may venture to approximate, and to say with some confidence that Ancient London changed into Mediaeval in the days of King Alfred, and passed into Modern with the accession of the Stuarts. The Great Fire of 1666 made vast changes not only in the city itself, but in the surroundings thereof, but modern London had begun nearly a century before that.' |
