More about the book

Anglo-Saxon England, the final volume in the Britain before the Conquest series takes the history and archaeology of Britain from the 5th Century AD through to 1066, covering perhaps the most enigmatic period in British history, when post-Roman, native British and Continental influences amalgamated, in a manner often difficult to unravel. Drawing upon all available sources - archaeology, history, literature, place-names, and the results of the latest scientific methods - the authors show how the foundations of English life to the present day, and have bequeathed their legacy to the English-speaking people for the New World.
