About the author
Very little biographical information about this author could be confirmed from the sources available in this search. Library and catalog records identify him as Arthur Ogle, born 1871, and show that he published scholarly historical works over a long span.
His known books include The Marquis d'Argenson: A Study in Criticism (published from the Stanhope Essay at Oxford), The Canon Law in Mediaeval England, and The Tragedy of the Lollards' Tower, a 1949 work focused on Richard Hunne and the Reformation Parliament. Taken together, these titles suggest a writer deeply interested in church law, political thought, and disputed episodes in English history.
Because reliable personal details were scarce, it is safest to remember him through the character of his work: serious, specialized, and aimed at readers drawn to the crossroads of religion, law, and power in late medieval and early modern Europe.
