Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [SC: 11.67], [PU: John Murray 1868-1873, London], HALLAM HISTORY LITERATURE MIDDLE AGES, Two of Henry Hallam's best known works. 'Introduction to the Literature of Europe' is a fifth edition (1873), with 'Europe During the Middle Ages' being the twelfth edition (1868). Illustrated, with a portrait frontispiece of Henry Hallam to volume I of 'Literature'. With a gift bookplate addressed to 'A M Young on the Occasion of his Marriage as a Mark of their Grateful Esteem and Accompanied with their Best Wishes for his Long and Continued Happiness by a Number of his Old Pupils at Tettenhall College August 1878' to all volumes. Collated, complete. Henry Hallam was a barrister before he formed his historical writing career. His first published book was his 'View of the State of Europe During The Middle Ages' which he described himself as a series of historical dissertations from the 5th to the 15th century. To this work he gives the history of several empires and countries such as France, Italy, Spain and Germany in addition to the Greek and Saracenic empires. Hallam also reflects on the social history of medieval times through discussions on the feudal, the ecclesiastical and political systems of England. His 'Introduction to the Literature of Europe' continues a topic briefly broached in his Middle Ages. The work gives an analysis of the state of literature from the Middle Ages to the Seventeenth Century. The work begins with an introductory overview sketching the state of literature in Europe to the end of the fourteenth century. He mentions the extinction of ancient learning after the fall of the Roman empire, and the rise of Christianity. Hallam also reviews classical learning and the works produced at this time. For each time period the work has separate chapters on literature, theology, science, speculative philosophy and jurisprudence. In uniform full calf bindings. Externally, generally smart with patches of slight rubbing to the extremities, boards and spines, heavier to the head and tail. Small loss to leather at rear joint to volume I of 'Middle Ages' due to rubbing. Front hinge to vol III of 'Middle Ages' is slightly strained but firm. As is front hinge to volume II of 'Literature'. Rear hinge to volume III of 'Literature' is slightly strained but firm. Presentation bookplate to front pastedown of all volumes. Internally, all volumes are firmly bound. Pages are slightly age toned to edges with occasional spots throughout. Pen annotations to the odd pages throughout, not affecting text. Very Good<
