Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the history of the Isle of Man between the years 1693-4 through to the 18th century. Though it began as a personal journal written by its governor, William Sacheverell, it quickly moved into a full-scale investigation into the history and culture of the island and its people. The work covers topics ranging from the linguistics and governance of the Isle of Man, to its more fantastical legends and folklore, presenting a holistic and penetrating overview. By combining his own firsthand observations with research drawn from a wealth of primary source documents, Sacheverell crafted an extensive record of the island that elevated his subjective account of his experiences to a seminal work on Manx history.
