Synopsis
This illustrated survey, compiled under James Campbell with chapters by Campbell, Patrick Wormald, and Eric John, follows England from the end of Roman Britain to the Norman Conquest. It treats the poorly documented fifth and sixth centuries, conversion and the first Christian kings, the age of Bede and Offa, Viking wars, Alfred and the West Saxon kings, the reign of Edgar, the return of Danish power, and 1066. Themes include kingship, feud, wealth, and the church, using chronicles, charters, coins, buildings, and graves. The book is a political and cultural history of Anglo-Saxon England, not a language primer.
