Galbraith is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the history and significance of the Abbey of St. Albans during a pivotal period leading up to its dissolution. It delves into the monastic revival, the economic conditions, and the various abbots who shaped the Abbey’s landscape, ultimately leading to its decline. The opening of the book introduces the prominence of the Abbey of St. Albans in the later Middle Ages, noting its influence despite not being the wealthiest of monasteries. It outlines the unique characteristics that set it apart, such as its literary associations and its strategic location near London. The text also mentions the Abbey's struggles with economic pressures, internal discipline, and growing unpopularity among townspeople, which foreshadows the eventual challenges it would face leading to its dissolution. The narrative establishes a foundation for a detailed examination of the Abbey's transitions between the 14th and 15th centuries, highlighting both its historical significance and the socio-political context of the time.
