Despite a frustrated ecclesiastical career - his ongoing failure to
secure the See of St David's embittered him - Giraldus Cambrensis
(Gerald of Wales, Gerald de Barry, c.1146-1220/3) composed many
remarkable literary works, initially while employed as a royal
clerk for Henry II and, subsequently, in semi-retirement in
Lincoln. Eight volumes of his works were compiled as part of the
Rolls Series of British medieval material. Volume 3, edited by
historian J. S. Brewer (1809-79) and published in 1863, consists of
Latin texts with an editorial preface in English, continuing from
Volume 1, Giraldus' polemical-apologetic account of the St David's
affair, and a life of the eponymous saint. Giraldus is noted for
his vigorous Latin and anecdotal style, and this volume gives a
vivid portrait of medieval Britain and the power struggles of the
Angevin court, while also illuminating nineteenth-century interest
in the period.
