Summary | "Westminster Abbey" by Mrs. A. Murray Smith is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the rich history of Westminster Abbey, exploring its architectural evolution, significant figures buried within its walls, and the connections between the English monarchy and the church. The narrative invites readers into a detailed walkthrough of the Abbey, filled with descriptions of notable tombs, monuments, and the transformation of the space through the ages. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage with an introduction that highlights the Abbey's founding by Edward the Confessor and its importance as a royal sepulcher and continuous site of worship. The opening portion discusses the temple's historical context, mentioning the significant restorations it underwent and its evolving role in English national identity. As the text unfolds, it mentions specific architectural details and historical anecdotes related to the various royal and notable burials, setting a comprehensive groundwork for the detailed explorations that will follow in the subsequent chapters.
