1999Quotations: "My chief purpose in writing and lecturing is to demonstrate the interest and utility of knowing the past. I believe with the twelfth-century historian Henry of Huntingdon that only brutes, whether they be men or beasts, neither know nor wish to know whence they come, nor their own origin, nor the events and deeds of their own country."
Ann Williams is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and Royal Historical Society, and a research fellow at the University of East Anglia.
