Robert Grosseteste - Southern, R. W. (former Chichele Professor of Modern History in the University of Oxford, and President, former Chichele Professor of Modern History in the University of Oxford, and President, St John's College)

This is a study of the intellectual development and influence of one of the most independent thinking Englishmen of the Middle Ages, Ribert Grosseteste. Southern has revised his much-acclaimed study in the light of recent scholarly research, and added an extensive preliminary chapter on the debate over Grosseteste's career and intellectual growth.
