I had never looked into the history of ideas leading up to general relativity. The terminology is so different than other physics and it seems to answer questions that I have never seen referenced. This article give a glimpse into the intellectual history and why it came to be. Though I found the end of the article a little unclear.

There's a really lovely Dover book which collects some of the source papers read by Einstein's group.

It's not the article that's unclear - it's the current state of physics.
