This 1930 edition includes essays from both the first and second
series of Coulton's Medieval Studies, together with appendices.
Although an academic who stressed the importance of using primary
sources, Coulton was skilled at making medieval history accessible
to a wider audience. He played an important role in encouraging
interest in the study of social and economic history of the Middle
Ages among younger scholars. These ten essays, all on aspects of
religion, were somewhat controversial in their day. Coulton
believed that sectarian bias frequently caused a distorted view of
history, and he was highly critical of Roman Catholic
interpretations of the medieval church. In the appendices he gives
a detailed critique of Cardinal Francis Gasquet's historical
writings, listing what Coulton regards as errors or deliberate
falsifications. Even where Coulton himself appears guilty of bias,
his wide knowledge of sources makes his writings still valuable to
modern readers.
