Thomas Frederick Tout (1855-1929) was arguably the most prolific
English medieval historian of the early twentieth century. The son
of an unsuccessful publican, he was described at his Oxford
scholarship exam as `uncouth and untidy'; however he went on to
publish hundreds of books throughout his distinguished career with
a legacy that extended well beyond the academy. Tout pioneered the
use of archival research, welcomed women into academia and
augmented the University of Manchester's growing reputation for
pioneering research. This book presents the first full assessment
of Tout's life and work, from his early career at Lampeter, to his
work in Manchester and his wide-ranging service to the study of
history. Selected essays take a fresh and critical look at Tout's
own historical writing and discuss how his research shaped, and
continues to shape, our understanding of the middle ages,
particularly the fourteenth century. The book concludes with a
personal reflection on Tout by his grandson, Tom Sharp.
