Excerpt from Thomas Becket: Archbishop of Canterbury This biography is the result of an endeavour to sift and restate what has long been known about the great Englishman whose life has been written, perhaps, more frequently than that of any other hero Of the Middle Age. Twenty-one years ago I published on the same subject a volume (5. Thomas of Canterbury, D. Nutt, second edition, 1899) of translated extracts from the contemporary biographers and other chroniclers. I have not now used the translations I then made, but have either translated the Latin anew or used, with revision, the translations made more than sixty years ago by Mr. R. H. Froude and Dr. J. A. Giles, to whom, (the latter in Spite of some unforgotten blunders), in the nineteenth century we owe the revival of interest in the great chancellor and archbishop. Perhaps the Early Victorian style of some of these versions may even be preferred to the Wardour Street English of a modern translator. The importance of the original biographies themselves is so great, second indeed only to that of their subject, that I have given to them a separate treatment at the end of this book.

Excerpt from Thomas Becket: Martyr Patriot Lives of Archbishop Becket and discussions of them have been so many, that some apology may be necessary for another. It is an easy task. We have it on the authority of Mr. Freeman: There is scarcely any man of past times, for estimating whose life and character we have such ample means. We know all about everybody and everything. As to mere matters of fact, the points of controversy are exceedingly few. But he adds: The peculiarity of the history is, that, with the same facts before them, no two people seem to be content to draw the same inferences.

Excerpt from The Life and Martyrdom: Of Saint Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Legate of the Holy See The life of St. Thomas of Canterbury requires no introduction. Panegyric and preliminary explanation are equally unnecessary, for he is not a man the circumstances of whose career are but little known. Every one will look for the most entire sympathy with him and his cause in the following pages and the writer cordially acknowledges that he entertains, and is proud of, this feeling. At the same time he hopes that no one will think that because the Saint, whose life he has ventured to write, is a hero in his eyes, he has recorded one word that he did not consider to be completely borne out by the ancient authorities. In so controverted a part of history, he has laid modern books aside, and has relied for his facts on contemporary writers alone; and his endeavour has been to enable the reader to weigh for himself the evidence on which his own judgment has been formed.
