Who wrote about the past in the Middle Ages, who read about it, and
how were these works disseminated and used? History was a subject
popular with authors and readers in the Anglo-Norman world. The
volume and richness of historical writing in the lands controlled
by the kings of England, particularly from the 12th century, has
long attracted the attention of historians and literary scholars.
This collection of essays returns to the processes involved in
writing history, and in particular to the medieval manuscript
sources in which the works of such historians survive. It explores
the motivations of those writing about the past in the Middle Ages
(such as Orderic Vitalis, John of Worcester, Symeon of Durham,
William of Malmesbury, Gerald of Wales, Roger of Howden, and
Matthew Paris), and the evidence provided by manuscripts for the
circumstances in which copies were made.
