Significantly Namier's major work, The Structure of Politics in the Reign of George III was
first published in 1928, just preceding the decade during whcih Mrs Bassett, Hunter Blair,
Hornyold Stickland and K. Wood Legh began to work on the members of the medieval
parliaments. The parliamentary biography approach was subsequently continued by J.S. Roskell
and the History of Parliament Trust, eg., Roskell J.S., The Commons and their speakers in
English parliaments, 1376-1523, (Manchester, 1965)
