Mitchell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work serves as an informal exploration of English literature and history, stretching from early Celtic influences through to the Tudor period. The author aims to make engaging connections between literary figures, historical events, and geographical contexts in England, providing an accessible overview for readers interested in the emergence of English literature and culture. The opening portion establishes the author's intent to guide readers through an assortment of talks that reflect on early English history, literature, and the landscapes that shaped them. The narrative introduces significant themes such as the impact of Celtic heritage on English literature, the role of early Christian monks in preserving knowledge, and the emergence of figures like Cædmon and Beda, who contributed to the beginnings of English poetry and scholarship. Mitchell suggests that these discussions will weave together notable literary figures and their historical backgrounds, encouraging readers to appreciate the symbiotic relationship between the lands of England and the letters produced therein. Overall, the beginning sets a tone that is both informative and richly contextual, inviting readers to join in a journey through England's cultural evolution.
