This work by Augustin Thierry (1795 1856) on the Norman conquest of
England was first published in French in 1825, the two-volume
translation into English following in 1847. Thierry employed a
relatively new technique in historiography, as he consulted only
original texts and documents, and insisted upon interpreting the
sources in as much detail as possible. He was adamant that the
events, ideas and political positions he chronicled should be
interpreted in their own terms and not subjected to a limited
nineteenth-century perspective. Volume 1 is divided into seven
parts and traces the aboriginal populations of Britain from the
period 55 BCE, closing with the death of William the Conqueror and
an account of the last efforts of the English to overthrow the
Norman yoke in 1137. The author also shares some of his reflections
on the challenges of writing history with his readers.
