| Summary |
"This book explores the importance of history to Elizabethan and early Stuart gentry and how this led to a vibrant antiquarian culture. The family, town and county histories written by the community which form the core of the study had an influence on the development of local history in England which lasted into the twentieth century and is still felt today." "This book will be of interest to researchers who are interested in the historiography of the period or the expression of gentry culture through material and literary artefacts. It is also relevant to local historians and to those researchers who use the works studied as primary resources."--BOOK JACKET |
