Arthur Penrhyn Stanley was a canon of Canterbury when he published this work - four essays on the history of the cathedral - in 1855. Taking events associated with Canterbury, he puts them in a wider historical context, describing the locations in which they were enacted, and including fascinating details from literary sources.

In this 1869 work, Arthur Stanley draws on both the manuscript archives of Westminster Abbey and on the work of earlier historians to describe its foundation, the coronations, the royal tombs, the other monuments to distinguished men and women, and the history of the abbey before and after the Reformation.

First published in 1844, these two volumes present a collection of letters by Thomas Arnold (1795-1842), Head of Rugby School and Professor of History at Oxford. The letters in Volume 1 reveal Arnold's early life, his career at Rugby up to 1835, and his ideas for educational reform.

Arthur Penrhyn Stanley (1815-1881) was a Biblical historian and was also considered the leading liberal theologian of his day. After being appointed a Canon of Canterbury Cathedral in 1850 he was elected Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History at the University of Oxford before becoming Dean of Westminster in 1863. During 1852 and 1853 Stanley travelled extensively in Egypt and the Holy Land. In this book, published in 1856, Stanley describes in vivid detail the ancient monuments and sites he visited, relating these locations to descriptions in the Old Testament and discussing the 'sacred geography' this creates. His work was immensely popular, with this volume running into a fourth edition within a year of publication. It provides a classic example of the combination of Biblical scholarship with historical literature which formed the basis of historical scholarship on the ancient Near East in the late nineteenth century.
