基本説明

Thomas Dunckerley is a late eighteenth-century icon of British Freemasonry; his story is a fascinating morality tale. Climbing to the highest echelons of the order, and long-accepted as something of a hero, the reality of Dunckerley's life is very different from the version recorded by his nineteenth-century biographers.

Full Description

Thomas Dunckerley is a late eighteenth-century icon of British Freemasonry. In one of the first books to provide a scholarly study of English Freemasonry, Sommers uses Dunckerley's case to examine the changeable nature of personal identity in the eighteenth century and the evolving methodology and expectations of biography.
