Beskrivelse af Agnes De Tracy
Agnes De Tracy: A Tale Of The Times Of St. Thomas Of Canterbury is a historical novel written by John Mason Neale and published in 1843. The story is set in the 12th century during the reign of King Henry II of England and focuses on the life of Agnes De Tracy, a young woman from a wealthy family in Somerset. Agnes is a devout Catholic and becomes involved in the conflict between the Church and the Crown, particularly the struggle between Archbishop Thomas Becket and King Henry II. She becomes a supporter of Becket and is drawn into the political intrigue and danger that surrounds him. The novel is a fictionalized account of the events leading up to Becket's murder in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170. It explores themes of faith, loyalty, and the struggle for power between Church and State. Neale, a prominent Anglican clergyman and hymn writer, drew on his extensive knowledge of medieval history and theology to create a vivid and engaging portrait of life in 12th century England. Agnes De Tracy: A Tale Of The Times Of St. Thomas Of Canterbury is a compelling work of historical fiction that offers a unique perspective on one of the most tumultuous periods in English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
