About the Editors
Arthur West Haddan (1816–1873) was an English churchman and academic with High Church Anglican views. He was ordained as deacon in 1840 and as a priest in 1842. He was dean of Trinity College in 1841, became vice-president in 1848, and was engaged in the work for the Library of Anglo-Catholic Theology. Haddan wrote for The Guardian, the High Church Weekly, and sent reviews to the Christian Remembrancer.
William Stubbs (1825–1901) was an influential English historian and academic with High Church Anglican views. He founded the systematic study of English medieval constitutional history. He was regius professor of history at the University of Oxford, bishop of Chester, and bishop of Oxford. He is known for his 19-volume medieval English chronicles, which he contributed between 1864 and 1889 to the Rolls Series, a major collection of British and Irish historical materials and primary sources. His other publications include Select Charters and Other Illustrations of English Constitutional History from the Earliest Times to the Reign of Edward the First, which quickly established itself as a textbook.
