About Author
George Burton Adams (June 3, 1851 – May 26, 1925) was an American medievalist historian who taught at Yale University from 1888 to 1925. He was noted for his written works as well as his 1908 address as president of the American Historical Association, which lamented the encroachment of the social sciences on the field of history, a position later challenged by James Harvey Robinson. He also played a key role in the establishment of the American Historical Review. Adams was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1918.(From Wikipedia)
A very good history of the two hundred years of England after the Norman Conquest. The author gives a thorough and readable description of the personalities and characteristics that became the English nation, with an emphasis on the constitutional innovations that developed from the Norman influence.
