Anglo-Saxon England

"Anglo-Saxon Britain: 400-699".

This social history of the early Anglo-Saxons will appeal to historians and archaeologists alike.

Description

The Anglo-Saxon period has often been dismissed as 'lost centuries' or the Dark Ages, but archaeological evidence and later written sources reveal a complex and sophisticated culture that was beginning to move towards urbanisation. They established market-places to facilitate the trade of local and exotic goods and developed an organised educational system.

In Anglo-Saxon England, Sally Crawford paints a vivid portrait of daily life in the period that saw the Anglo-Saxon invasion and the end of Roman Britain. The book explores various facets of life, from the status and demands of occupations to the structures of families, and from the intricacies of feasting to the period's elaborate and creative entertainments.
