Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A definitive and groundbreaking history of the AngloSaxons by national bestselling author Marc Morris. Sixteen hundred years ago, Britain parted company with Europe. As the Roman legions withdrew, the economy that had supported them collapsed. A world that had been peaceful, prosperous, and predictable became dangerously insecure. Rich and poor huddled together for protection in ancient hillforts, unoccupied since the Iron Age. Learning and literacy were lost; it is no exaggeration to call this a Dark Age.Into this ruined world came a new peopleforeigners from beyond the Empires northern frontier, collectively known as the AngloSaxons. Some were warriors, drawn into the internecine struggles between Britains new tribal rulers. Most were economic migrants, in search of land to farm and a happier future. Arriving on the shores of southern and eastern Britain, in the centuries that followed they spread northwards and westwards, eventually occupying every lowland part of the island, and in the process they gradually built a new civilization.The AngloSaxons is a quest for the Englands origins. It takes us from an alien world of slaves, temples, villas, druids and amphorae, to a familiar landscape of shires and boroughs; from the worship of vanished gods like Thor and Woden to the veneration of saints who are still wellknown; from a population who spoke Latin and Celtic to one whose language was recognizably the ancestor of the English that is spoken today.Marc Morriss invigorating narrative asks what we can really know of life in this lost age, and tackles controversial questions: Did the AngloSaxons drive the RomanoBritish into the fringes of the island, as traditional argued, or peacefully absorb them, as revisionist historians claim? It also explores the later legends that arose to fill the void, such as what truth is there, if any, in the tales of a British resistance led by a hero called Arthur? 16 pages of color illustrations
