Angleland: State-building & nation-forging in Anglo-Saxon England, 593 - 1002

Bag om Angleland: State-building & nation-forging in Anglo-Saxon England, 593 - 1002

Anglo-Saxon England - the reality behind JRR Tolkein's Middle Earth and Bernard Cornwell's Last Kingdom series. The half millennia, between the fall of Rome and the Norman Conquest, is the most enigmatic period in British history, often written off as the impenetrable 'Dark Ages'. 'Angeland' illuminates the reality of this period: a time of phenomenal creativity, excitement and dramatic, far-reaching change, of colour and contrast, of ravening invaders, of godly scholars and towering personalities - Aethelfrith of Bernicia, Offa of Mercia, Alfred the Great, Aethelflead Lady of the Mercians, and Sven Forkbeard, first Viking King of England, to name just a few. Scholarly, but accessible, designed for A-level, Pre-U and university students, 'Angeland' will also be of interest to anyone drawn to this extraordinary age.
