Alan Sutton Publishing Limited, Stroud, first edition, 1993. Cloth, 8vo, 26 cm,. xxxvi, 601pp, ills. From the blurb: "The work of John Leland a Tudor scholar who travelled the length of England during the 1530s and 1540s, is frequently cited and quoted in books about the places which he described, and is acknowledged to be one of the most important sources of information about English towns and countryside in the sixteenth century. But hitherto this fascinating work has been largely inaccessible to the general reader, available only in a five-volume edition which retained much of Leland's disjointed order and his frequent lapses into Latin. For this new edition John Chandler has retained everything in the itinerary of historical or topographical interest, but has turned the text into modern English and rearranged it by historic county. Leland's descriptions are complemented by the county maps of the Tudor cartographer. Christopher Saxton, as well as by illustrations of many of the places and buildings which he mentioned. There are introductions to his accounts ot each county, and an important reassessment of Leland's life and work. Leland visited and described most of the larger provincial towns of his day, and very many smaller places; nearly always his is the earliest account by any traveller to survive, and his perceptive and informed comments offer a unique view of England at the close ot the middle ages. This new edition is sure to bring his achievement to the notice of a far wider audience, and to make more accessible a key document for the study of English social and landscape history.

This itinerary gives an account of Leland's tireless travels throughout England between 1539 and 1545, and records his observations of places and buildings, landscapes and monuments. It gives a picture of crumbling monasteries, the proliferating parks, suburbs and stately homes, and the new self-awareness and nationalistic pride of Tudor England.
