(11)F.M.Maitland,"William Stubbs,Bishop of Oxford," The English Historical Review,Vol.16,No.63(Jul.1901),p.420.诺尔斯也指出尽管该系列诸多卷本完全失败,但斯塔布斯的编辑质量超越所有其他人,其相关的评论文章也最具历史价值。参阅M.D.Knowles,"Presidential Address:Great Historical Enterprises IV.The Rolls Series," Transactions of the Royal Historical Society,Vol.11(1961),p.148.

(14)R.J.Bartlett,History and Historians:Selected Papers of R.W.Southern,p.83.斯塔布斯编纂的文献以手稿为主;莱特担任档案馆馆长后,档案文献的出版才正式启动,梅特兰成为其中的佼佼者。史密斯指出,正是卷宗系列的编纂使得斯塔布斯的惊人成就成为可能。参见R.J.Smith,The Gothic Bequest:Medieval Institutions in British Thought,1688-1863,Cambridge:Cambridge University Press,1987,p.202.

(20)弗里曼所谓的原始权威是指那些作为旁观者甚至参与者,记录了他自己时代之事件的作者;因此严格地说,修昔底德当属原始权威,而罗马史家李维的史著就不能算。但在实际的史学写作中,弗里曼却从不前往档案馆或图书馆利用一手文献,而满足于业已出版的二手史料。“我从未尝试去大英博物馆。我更不经常去博德林。加德纳和亨特似乎依靠它成长,但我觉得很可怕。我的史料必须在我自己的房子或其他地方”。参见W.R.W.Stephens,ed.,The Life and Letters of Edward A.Freeman,Vol.II,London:Macmillan and Co,1895,pp.471-472.

(25)斯塔布斯的《英格兰宪政史》(The Constitutional History of England)共3卷,分别于1873年、1875年和1878年先后由牛津克拉伦顿出版社出版,并在生前各再版了4-5次。但由于他此后担任主教职务,事务繁忙,各版本均以小修补为主。此外,1870年出版的《特许状选集》(Select Charters of English Constitutional History)立即成为经典,其生前共再版9次。 (26)J.W.汤普森:《历史著作史》下卷,第430页。 (27)W.R.W.Stephens,ed.,The Life and Letters of Edward A.Freeman,Vol.II,p.88.

(29)R.J.Bartlett,History and Historians:Selected Papers of R.W.Southern,pp.94-95.本特利更指出斯塔布斯在英格兰宪政史学中占据独特与核心的地位,其影响接近一个世纪。参阅Michael Bentley,Modernizing England's Past:English Historiography in the Age of Modernism,1870-1970,pp.23-24. (30)C.H.Firth,Modern History in Oxford,1841-1918,Oxford:Basil Blackwell,1920,p.29. (31)按照弗思的总结,钦定教授职位之所以被设立是因为它富于教益和实际功用。戈德温·史密斯(Goldwin Smith)也认为该职位的原初目标就是公共服务(public service)。参见Goldwin Smith,An Inaugural Lecture,Oxford and London:J.H.and Jas.Parker,1858,p.2.在斯塔布斯之前,该职位担纲者均非历史学家,极少写作史学论著。如第3任教授斯彭斯(Joseph Spence),此前为诗学教授;1801年就任的比克(Henry Beeke)是经济学家而非史家;1848年上任的沃恩(Henry Vaughan)为哲学专家;戈德温·史密斯也非专业史学工作者;直至1866年就职的斯塔布斯才算是真正的专业史家。 (32)William Stubbs,"A Last Statutory Public Lecture,"(May 8,1884),in William Stubbs,Seventeenth Lectures on the Study of Medieval and Modern History and Kindred Subjects,p.426. (33)牛津导师与教授的矛盾本质上是教学(博雅)与研究(专业)的冲突。1868年,导师们成立了独立于教授的跨学院组织,即历史导师联合会(History Tutors Association),负责安排讲座,提供考试官并决定讲授的内容。尽管斯塔布斯和巴罗两位现代史教授也是其成员,但显然没有太多话语权。参见Noel Annan,the Dons:Mentors,Eccentrics and Geniuses,Chicago:The University of Chicago Press,1999,p.77.[不过,他们曾帮助查尔斯·博阿斯(Charles Boase)和谢德维尔负责英国史教学工作。]斯塔布斯的学生奥曼更是声称,学院导师们不准学生参加教授的讲座,这也导致学生一般通过其著作认识他,很少与斯塔布斯有个人交往。参见Sir Charles Oman,Memories of Victorian Oxford and of Some Early Years,London:Methuen & Co,1941,p.106.据称,斯塔布斯的讲座一般只有12~15位学生参加;而导师的课堂能高达80~100人。总体而言,他和大部分历史教授一样与学院导师的关系较为微妙,尽管保持着礼貌。 (34)Goldwin Smith,The Re-Organization of the University of Oxford,Oxford:James Parker and Co,1868,p.28.

(36)当时的普通学位课程以英国中世纪史为主;优等学位课程则包含“从基督诞生到1789年的世界历史”等。参见[英]F.H.劳森著,黎敏译:《圣殿:1850年至1965年的牛津法律教育》,法律出版社2010年版,第22-23页。参考书目为布莱克斯通等人的经典著作而非原始材料。根据牛津大学年历,1859年现代史考试的参考书目仍以二手著作为主,如哈兰的《中世纪史》,吉本的《罗马帝国衰亡史》,基佐《法国文明史》及《萨克逊年鉴》等。参见Peter R.Slee,Learning and a Liberal Education:The Study of Modern History in the University of Oxford,Cambridge and Manchester,1800-1914,pp.40-41.
