This vintage book contains a detailed description of Hardknott Castle,
an archaeological site containing the remains of the Roman fort
Mediobogdum, located on the western side of the Hardknott Pass in the
English county of Cumbria. Including maps and a comprehensive account of
it history, this volume is not to be missed by those with an interest in
this particular site and in Roman British history in general. Robin
George Collingwood, FBA (1889 - 1943), was an English historian,
philosopher, and archaeologist most famous for his philosophical works
including "The Principles of Art" (1938) and "The Idea of History"
(1946). Other notable works by this author include: "Religion and
Philosophy" (1916), "Roman Britain" (1923), and "Speculum Mentis; or The
Map of Knowledge" (1924). Many vintage books such as this are
increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are
republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality
edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the
author.
