A fresh look at William of Malmesbury which not only demonstrates
his real greatness as a historian and his European vision, but also
the breadth of his learning across a number of other disciplines.
In the past William of Malmesbury (1090-1143) has been seen as
first and foremost a historian of England, and little else. This
volume reveals not only William's real greatness as a historian and
his European vision, but also the breadth and depth of his learning
across a number of other fields. Areas that receive particular
attention are William's historical writings, his historical vision
and interpretation of England's past; William and kingship;
William's language; William's medical knowledge; the influence of
Bede and other ancient writers on William's historiography; William
and chronology; William, Anselm of Canterbury and reform of the
English Church; William and the Latin Classics; William and the
Jews; and William as hagiographer. Overall, the volume offers a
broad coverage of William's learning, wide-ranging interests and
significance as revealed in his writings.
