    Description

    This third edition of Peter Hunter Blair's classic account of Anglo-Saxon history includes a completely new introduction written by Simon Keynes. The first two chapters survey Anglo-Saxon England: its wars and invasions, people and kings. The remaining chapters cover specific aspects of its culture: Church, government, economy and literary achievement. Blair uses illustrations and a wide range of sources--documents, archaeological evidence and place names--to depict the period realistically. (Keynes has also prepared a thoroughly updated bibliography.)

    Anglo-Saxon England is recognised internationally as the foremost regular publication in its field. In fact it is the only one which consistently embraces all the main aspects of study of Anglo-Saxon history and culture — linguistic, literary, textual, palaeographic, religious, intellectual, historical, archaeological and artistic. Especially it seeks to exploit the advantages of a broadly based interdisciplinary approach. Each volume provides a systematic bibliography of all the works published in every branch of Anglo-Saxon studies during the preceding twelve months. The journal's editorial board follows a strict policy of reviewing submissions, and invites contributions (in English) from experienced and promising scholars from anywhere in the world.
