Books by David M. Smith

Hugh of Wells brought to the diocese of Lincoln his experience as a royal official in the chancery of King John, and his tenure was marked by transition and innovation. This edition of his collected acta supplements the summary enrolments, and reveals Hugh as an active and innovative diocesan at an important point in the history of English Church.

Combining historical and policy study with empirical research from a qualitative study of regional elites this book offers an original and timely insight into the progress of devolution of governance in England.

This book explores the interface between geography, ethics and morality.
