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.1146-1220/23) 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. Noted for his vigorous
Latin and anecdotal style, Giraldus gives a vivid portrait of
medieval Britain - he revived the ethnographic monograph, lapsed
since antiquity - and of the intrigues of the Angevin court. Volume
6, edited by clergyman and historian James F. Dimock (1810-76) and
first published in 1868, contains Giraldus' treatises on his native
Wales, one of his earliest works. The Latin texts provide an
outstanding contemporary source, while the English editorial
preface illuminates nineteenth-century interest in the period.
