Zusatztext The "Chronicles" provide not just a remarkable insight into the material, mental and moral world of one individual, but also of the period in which he lived... an incredibly rich source, and the British Academy and the Oxford University Press are to be congratulated for making this superb edition of it available. Equally, John Money is to be thanked for his massively erudite, at appropriate points witty, and unfailingly sympathetic editorial work. Klappentext This edition is the first full scale study of John Cannon and his chronicles. Known to some as 'the poor man's Pepys', Cannon wrote a remarkably candid autobiography, during a crucial period of change in British history. Part 2 covers the time Cannon spent as a schoolmaster in Glastonbury. Zusammenfassung This edition is the first full scale study of John Cannon and his chronicles.
