A landmark work in early medieval scholarship, The Age of Arthur presents a sweeping and meticulously researched account of the British Isles during one of history's most turbulent and mythologised periods, spanning from 350 to 650 AD. John Morris chronicles the transformation of Roman Britain into the fragmented kingdoms of early medieval England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, arguing that a historical figure behind the legend of King Arthur genuinely existed and shaped the age. With authoritative command of archaeological, documentary, and linguistic evidence, the work reconstructs the political upheavals, migrations, and cultural shifts that defined post-Roman Britain. Morris writes with the conviction of a scholar unafraid of bold conclusions, making this an indispensable and provocative text for anyone serious about the origins of British civilisation.
