Description:Excerpt from Geoffrey De Mandeville: A Study of the AnarchyTm; reign of Stephen, in the words of our greatest living historian, is one of the most immrtant in our whole history, as exemplifying the working of causes and principles which had no other opportunity of exhibiting their real tendencies. To illustrate in detail the working of those principles to which the Bishop of Oxford thus refers, is the chief object I have set before myself in these pages.
