  • An overview, not a History?

    Myers was commissioned to completely re-write this volume, covering the settlement of England by the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, 50 years after he wrote the 1st Edition. It is not really a History, but more an overview of the evidence of the Anglo Saxon invasion, and how the Archaeology has changed our views, of what took place. The time period is thus shifted backwards, from 400 AD to 250 AD, and how the Pottery and other grave goods, have made us re-evaluate the time period, for the change from Roman Britain to English. He has done an excellent job, however, because there is no new written contemporary chronicle of the events, there is no new Political History. The book covers roughly to 600 AD, but concentrates on 360 AD to around 540 AD We still have no idea, who many of the movers and shakers in the invasions were. For this we rely on Bede, and the later writers. Hence between 400 ad and 600 ad it is still almost black ages, and until 860 ad and Alfred, with the reintroduction of writing as a widespread discipline, it is the Dark Ages. If you are wanting a book that covers the flux and movement of peoples in England, from Britons to English, as the Roman Empire collapses, this is a good starter.

  • Perfect for my needs

    The book was bought as a replacement to one I had many years ago. The condition of the book is excellent and the price also. A fascinating part of our history often referred to as the Dark Ages

  • Good read.

    Excellent for research and general knowledge, for me as a writer of fiction, and for my granddaughter interested in history.
