A Source-Book of English Social History
by M. E. Monckton (Mary Evelyn Monckton) Jones
About the author
Mary Evelyn Monckton Jones, who published as M. E. Monckton Jones, wrote history for general readers as well as students. Surviving catalog and library records connect her with books including A Source-Book of English Social History (1922), Life in Old Cambridge (1920), Warren Hastings in Bengal, 1772–1774, and Ancient Egypt from the Records.
Her writing suggests a practical, documentary approach: instead of treating history as a list of dates, she drew on records and concrete examples to show how people lived and how institutions worked. That makes her books especially approachable for listeners who enjoy history told through evidence and everyday life.
Reliable biographical details about her personal life are limited in the sources I could confirm here, so it is safest to remember her chiefly through the historical works she left behind and the range of subjects they cover.
