Book Synopsis Anglo-Saxon Britain (Classic Reprint) by : Grant Allen
Download or read book Anglo-Saxon Britain (Classic Reprint) written by Grant Allen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anglo-Saxon Britain This little book is an attempt to give a brief sketch of Britain under the early English conquerors, rather from the social than from the political point of View. For that purpose not much has been said about the doings of kings and statesmen; but attention has been mainly directed towards the less obvious evi dence afforded us by existing monuments as to the life and mode of thought of the people themselves. The principal object throughout has been to estimate the importance of those elements in modern British life which are chiefly due to purely English or Low Dutch influences.

Book Synopsis Anglo-Saxon England by : Sally Crawford
Download or read book Anglo-Saxon England written by Sally Crawford and published by Shire Publications. This book was released on 2011-06-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Anglo-Saxon England saw some of the most important elements in the creation of modern England: the Germanic migrations after the departure of the Romans and the introduction of Christianity in the 7th century. While traditionally the early centuries of Anglo-Saxon England have been disregarded as"'lost centuries," archaeological evidence, paired with the later written sources, can reveal a complex and often sophisticated society. This period saw the beginnings of urbanization, with the establishment of market-places enabling the trade of local and exotic goods, and the first schools were introduced in the 7th century. Sally Crawford looks at how the Anglo-Saxons lived, from the composition of an Anglo-Saxon family and how status was defined by an individual's occupation, to the complexities of feasting and drinking and how adults and children found entertainment.

In part, - as far as it relates to the Scyldings and their settlements in Northumbria, - it has been already submitted to the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle-on-Tyne, and an abstract from my papers, accompanied by illustrative notes from the pen of their able secretary, Mr. Longstaffe, has appeared in their Transactions. These notes are incorporated in the present work, together with other valuable information kindly furnished by him to me.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Anglo-Saxons: From the Earliest Period to the Norman Conquest For the historical materials of this volume, I have been mainly indebted to the sterling and valuable work of the late Mr. Sharon Turner, who, during a long life, neglected no oppor tunity of acquiring information on the subject. I have before. On several occasions, had to acknowledge his kind and liberal assistance in historical inquiries and now that he is no more, gratify myself by again recording my obligations, and bearing testimony to the value of his labours. Many other works on anglo-saxon History, Manners, and Literature have been con sulted, but Turner left me very little to glean elsewhere.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of England Under the Anglo-Saxon Kings, Vol. 1 of 2 An epoch of great convulsions would scarcely seem to be consistent with the developement of the higher forms of life. Perhaps my estimate of the Middle Ages, which is rather more favourable than that commonly taken, has been coloured by the same tendency to believe in growth rather than in sudden and violent revolutions. It is difficult to study a literature and laws that are as English as our own in spirit and purpose without feeling that we have inherited good as well as evil from the past.

Book Synopsis An Introduction to Anglo-Saxon England by : Peter Hunter Blair
Download or read book An Introduction to Anglo-Saxon England written by Peter Hunter Blair and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1977-09-08 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a lucid, authoritative and well-balanced account of Anglo-Saxon history. Peter Hunter Blair's book has achieved classic status, and is published now with a new, up-to-date bibliography prepared by Simon Keynes. 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 - spoken and written - took its form. These origins of the English heritage are Hunter Blair's subject. The first two chapters survey Anglo-Saxon England: its wars, its invaders, its peoples and its kings. The remaining chapters deal with specific aspects of its culture: its Church, government, economy and literary achievement. Throughout the author uses illustrations and a wide range of sources - documents, archaeological evidence and place names - to illuminate the period as a whole.
Book Synopsis The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Classic Reprint) by : E. E. C. Gomme

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle Alfred collected such scanty records together and added to them a history of the century in which he lived. Egbert's wars were not yet forgotten, and the deeds of his son and grandsons were still nearer the king's own experience. The account of his own wars down to the year 892 is probably from the pen of the west-saxon monarch himself; no definite judgement can be given, but the spirit and style of the narrative is wholly Alfred's. We know from other sources that the king's mind soared above the isolated life of his own island; he felt in all its ful ness the great man's need of a less restricted atmo sphere. To this unconscious instinct we may trace the sending of alms to India and the frequent men tion of foreign events in that portion of the Chronicle attributed to him. Note, too, the curiosity which is shown about the three Irish exiles of the year 891 Alfred was ever interested in tales of the outside world; compare the account of the voyages of Ohthere and Wulfstan which be inserted in his translation of Orosius' History.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anglo-Saxon Home IT is the object of the following pages to give a true picture of the domestic life of our anglo-saxon fore fathers, and in so doing to trace the gradual development among them of the domestic affections and of the morals and manners of private life. There are numerous works by distinguished writers on the history of the anglo-saxon Church, and on its theological opinions. There are also many, by scholars of no less eminence, exclusively devoted to the political state of our ancient commonwealth. The literature of the period has been examined and illustrated with the greatest learning and ability; and its civil and military annals have been traced and criticised in all the most famous histories of England. There is not, however, to the best of my belief, any work devoted to the history of the anglo-saxon home.
