Thomas Frederick Tout (1855–1929): refashioning history for the twentieth century
Joel T. Rosenthal and Caroline M. Barron
Selected essays take a fresh and critical look at Tout’s own historical writing and discuss how his research shaped, and continues to shape, our understanding of the middle ages, particularly the fourteenth century. The book concludes with a personal reflection on Tout by his grandson, Tom Sharp.
