| Sumario: | First published in 1905, this work contains editions and discussion of three mid-fifteenth-century manuscript copies of London chronicles giving detailed insight into the city in this period. The volume was compiled by the respected historian Charles Lethbridge Kingsford (1862-1926), who published extensively on many subjects but was notable for his expertise on the reign of Henry V, which underpinned his appreciation of the importance of these chronicles. His scholarly introduction covers each of the London chronicles and discusses their manuscript copies, authorship, contents, dates and the intertextual relationships between them. The texts are accompanied by foliation and marginalia, and footnotes showing other manuscript variations. The appendices, containing details of texts drawn from each manuscript, include a list of lords, knights and gentlemen slain, and details of variations between manuscripts. This work also includes an extensive glossary, endnotes, and an index of names, places and topics. |
