Bøger i Studies in the Early History of Britain serien

Wessex is central to the study of early medieval English history; it was the dynasty which created the kingdom of England. This volume uses archaeological and place-name evidence to present an authoritative account of the most significant of the English kingdoms.

This text takes a theoretical approach in viewing the social identity of early medieval Britain and Ireland as an intricate "warp and weft" in which "we-identities" are more than mere agglomerations of single threads or collectives of individual "self-identities", such as ethnicity or gender.

Examines the development of lordship, peasant status and estate structures in the Northern Danelaw (now Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire), placing the region in its European context and addressing issues concerning the nature of early medieval society.

This text focuses on the life, work, influence and cult of St Oswald - primarily in his cathedral and diocese at Worcester and his principal monastic foundation at Ramsey - and derives from the commemoration of the saint's millennium in 1992.
