| Description: |
Summarises the lore and learning about Glastonbury Abbey. This book presents medieval account of the abbey and its legends. |
| Synopsis: |
"John of Glastonbury's Chronicle" represents an attempt to summarise the lore and learning about Glastonbury Abbey and its past available in the fourteenth century, a body of knowledge which changed very little before the Reformation. The author drew on a large number of sources and edited these skilfully to form his narrative, while preserving the earlier text almost intact. The result is the fullest medieval account of the abbey and its legends, and this edition will be very welcome, drawing as it does on the latest research. A translation is included, which makes the important text available in English for the first time, and the whole volume is designed as a companion to John Scott's edition and translation of William of Malmesbury's twelfth century account of the abbey's history. |
