Thomas Frederick Tout (1855-1929)
Author: Caroline M. Barron
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781909646995
Category : England
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Thomas Frederick Tout (1855-1929) was arguably the most prolific English medieval historian of the early twentieth century. The son of an unsuccessful publican, he was described at his Oxford scholarship exam as 'uncouth and untidy'; however he went on to publish hundreds of books throughout his distinguished career with a legacy that extended well beyond the academy. Tout pioneered the use of archival research, welcomed women into academia and augmented the University of Manchester's growing reputation for pioneering research. This book presents the first full assessment of Tout's life and work, from his early career at Lampeter, to his work in Manchester and his wide-ranging service to the study of history. 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.

The Popular Educator
Mr. Poe and Dr. Moran
Author: Dwight Thomas
Publisher: Dorrance Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 576
Book Description
A compact biography of Edgar Allan Poe and his close associates, Mr. Poe and Dr. Moran, will prove useful and entertaining to a wide range of readers. It is based exclusively on authentic historical documents and incorporates passages from many sources which became accessible only after the year 2000, following the introduction of searchable Internet databases. True-to-life portraiture of the “historical Poe” has always been problematic. Within a day or two after his death in October 1849, Poe's biography began to be distorted by fabrications and apocrypha. Oddly enough, the foremost fabricator was also our most intimate and outspoken eyewitness. The Baltimore physician Dr. John J. Moran, M.D., tried to comfort Poe on his deathbed and then wrote a tactlessly explicit letter of condolence to his anguished next of kin. Twenty-five years later that same Dr. Moran embarked on a protracted campaign to circulate a thoroughly fabulous account of his patient’s diagnosis and the circumstances surrounding his final hours. Traces of these notorious fibbings continue to pop up without warning in slipshod popular biographies as well as in medical journals. About the Author Dwight Thomas is descended from the Welsh mariner John Thomas, the captain of the vessel which brought the first English settlers to the colony of Georgia in 1733. He grew up in Savannah and attended Emory University in Atlanta. During the Vietnam War he served in the United States Army. Subsequently he received a doctoral fellowship in the English Department of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. He went on to collaborate with the veteran Poe scholar David K. Jackson in preparing The Poe Log (1987), a thousand-page encyclopedic reconstruction of the poet’s career. Dr. Thomas is a lifetime member of the Modern Language Association. In 2009 he served as keynote speaker at the bicentennial convention of the Poe Studies Association.
