Description

With clear, unadorned prose, Peter Hunter Blair presents an authoritative account of the seven formative centuries between the Roman evacuation of Britain and the Norman Conquest. The volume is intended as a general introduction to events that are without parallel in Britain's later history: Between the end of the Roman occupation and the coming of the Normans, England was settled by Germanic races, the kingdom as a political unit was created, heathenism yielded to a vigorous Christian church, superb works of art were made, and the English language, as it is spoken and written, took its form.
