Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of twenty East Anglian essays celebrates Hassell Smith's seventieth birthday. It has been written and edited by former colleagues, friends and post-graduate students who have been connected, in various ways, with his work at the Centre of East Anglian Studies at the University of East Anglia during the past thirty years. They cover a wide variety of topics from the thirteenth century through to the eighteenth century and make a valuable contribution to the understanding of the history of Suffolk and Norfolk.
