| Abstract
|
:
|
This is the first book devoted entirely to William of Malmesbury, England's greatest historian after Bede, and one of the great figures of the 12th century renaissance. Although best known for his historical writings, William was also a biblical commentator, scribe and editor of texts. Here, R.M. Thomson looks at the man, his times and his work as a man of letters.
