Synopsis

George Payne Rainsford James (1799-1860), novelist and historical writer, was for many years British Consul in the United States and on the Continent. At an early age he began to write romances, and continued his production with such industry that his works reach to 100 volumes. Among them are Richelieu (1829), Philip Augustus (1831), The Man at Arms (1840), The Huguenot (1838), Agincourt (1844), The King's Highway (1840) and The Smuggler (1845). In addition to his novels he wrote Memoirs of Great Commanders, a Life of the Black Prince, and other historical and biographical works.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this King Arthur's reign, A lusty knight was pricking o'er the plain.--Dryden. On the morning of the 24th day of March, 1520, a traveller was seen riding in the small, rugged cross-road which, traversing the eastern part of Kent, formed the immediate communication between Wye[1] and Canterbury. Far be it from me to insinuate that this road pursued anything like a direct course from the one place to the other: on the contrary, it seemed, like a serpent, to get on only by twisting; and yet truly, as its track now lies pictured on the old county map before me, I can discover no possible reason for its various contortions, inasmuch as they avoid neither ascents nor descents, but proceed alike over rough and smooth, hill and dale, appearing only to wind about for the sake of variety.
