Overview

Leland wrote this tamed account of his journeys through England in the 1540s, painstakingly recording his observations of places and buildings, landscapes and monuments. This critically acclaimed one-volume edition presents a modem English version of the text, arranged by modem county, with reproductions of Tudor county maps and contemporary illustrations. An essential work for anyone interested in medieval and Tudor history, local history and topography.

The widely quoted but barely accessible account of Leland's travels during the 1530s and 1540s, now in modern English, arranged by county in alphabetical order, and cheap enough for any student with a night job. After a substantial introduction and bibliography, the text speaks without annotation. Well illustrated and indexed in detail. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
