About the author

Henry Hallam FRS FRSE FSA (1777 – 1859) was an English historian. Educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, he practised as a barrister on the Oxford circuit for some years before turning to history. His major works were View of the State of Europe during the Middle Ages (1818), The Constitutional History of England (1827), and Introduction to the Literature of Europe, in the Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries (1837). Although he took no part in politics himself, he was well acquainted with the band of authors and politicians who led the Whig party. In an 1828 review of Constitutional History, Robert Southey claimed that the work was biased in favour of the Whigs.

Reviews

[Tom Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting journey of Europe during the Middle Ages across 3 volumes. Each chapter looks at a different European state or Medieval concept (e.g Feudalism) and each chapter is brief enough to offer an easy overview of the topics. There are notes that go into greater depth of each subject after every chapter which is useful for those who want more detail about specifics
