Synopsis
Glasgow's origins are of profound importance towards understanding how this city grew from modest beginnings to become first a place of pilgrimage, then a merchant centre and ultimately an industrial powerhouse of world significance. Previous accounts of pre-Reformation Glasgow have been aimed at an academic audience. This book is the first exploration of Glasgow s medieval origins designed for a general readership. It will inform Glaswegians with an interest in how their city was formed and visitors who want to explore the whole history of this remarkable place. Glasgow's medieval history has been too long lost to the popular imagination. Its rediscovery recognises the contribution of our forebears to the evolution of the great city of Glasgow.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : Good. This beautifully produced, new history of medieval Glasgow consists of eight chapters each written by a different author, among them David Sellar, Dr E Patricia Dennison, and Dr James Macaulay. It considers areas such as law, courts and people, the great buildings of early Glasgow, daily life, disease and death, and the role of the church. Professor Michael Lynch's introduction expertly draws the chapters together, and the timeline, from the 7th to the 17th century provides the reader with a useful reference tool.
