Glimpses of Ancient Leicester: In Six Periods is a historical book written by Agnes Paget Johnson and published in 1906. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of Leicester, a city in the East Midlands region of England, from the Roman period to the 19th century. The book is divided into six chapters, each covering a different period in Leicester's history. The first chapter focuses on the Roman period, exploring the city's origins and development during this time. The second chapter covers the Saxon period, including the arrival of the Danes and the establishment of the Danelaw. The third chapter examines the Norman period, including the construction of Leicester Castle and the development of the town's economy. The fourth chapter covers the medieval period, including the Black Death and the Wars of the Roses. The fifth chapter explores the Tudor and Stuart periods, including the Reformation and the English Civil War. The final chapter covers the Georgian and Victorian periods, including the Industrial Revolution and the development of the city's infrastructure. Throughout the book, Johnson provides detailed descriptions of Leicester's architecture, culture, and society during each period. She also includes numerous illustrations and photographs to help readers visualize the city's history.
