About This Item
New York: Carroll & Graf Publishers, 2006. xliv, 404 pages, [8] pages of plates, illustrations, maps; 20 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated First Carroll & Graf Edition. "Starting A.D. 400 (around the time of their invasion of England) and running through to the 1100s (the 'Aftermath'), historian Geoffrey Hindley shows the Anglo-Saxons as formative in the history not only of England but also of Europe. The society inspired by the warrior world of the Old English poem Beowulf saw England become the world's first nation state and Europe's first country to conduct affairs in its own language, and Bede and Boniface of Wessex establish the dating convention we still use today. Including all the latest research, A Brief History of the Anglo-Saxons is a fascinating assessment of a vital historical period. / Geoffrey Hindley lectures internationally on medieval history. His many books include The Shaping of Europe, Saladin: A Biography, The Book of Magna Carta, and A Brief History of the Crusades." - Publisher. . 1st. Paperback. Fine. 8vo.
