Edited by James Campbell, with contributions from leading historians Eric John and Patrick Wormald, this landmark volume chronicles the rise and development of Anglo-Saxon England from the collapse of Roman Britain in the fifth century through to the Norman Conquest of 1066, examining the kingdoms, battles, laws, art, and faith of a people who forged the very identity of the English nation.\n\nBroad in scope yet meticulous in detail, the work presents a vivid tapestry of early medieval life, drawing on archaeological evidence, illuminated manuscripts, and documentary sources to argue for a sophisticated and deeply interconnected society. Campbell's editorial vision brings a cohesive scholarly rigour to what might otherwise be disparate threads of history, illuminating the political structures, religious conversion, and cultural achievements — from the Sutton Hoo treasure to the Lindisfarne Gospels — that defined an age. A volume that satisfies both the curious general reader and the dedicated scholar, it leaves one wondering how much of what we consider quintessentially English was, in truth, forged in the fires of the Anglo-Saxon world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203114049755,"sku":"2026200015302-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1e74cd27-8687-4e1e-9a0f-33ed16a195d7.png?v=1788144159","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015302-secondhand-the-anglo-saxons","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
