This is an admirable collection of papers raising important themes and offering a number of challenges to accepted orthodoxies about the nature and development of the separate areas of early medieval Britain.

Advance praise from an academic in the Department of History, University of Sheffield

With so distinguished a team of contributors, this book cannot . . . fail to be a success.

Advance praise from an academic at the University of Glasgow

This book inaugurates a historiography of the early medieval British Isles and suggests some of the ways in which it might be written. The fact that it does so intelligibly and often compellingly is a mark of the quality of the individual contributions and the significance of the collective project in which they are engaged.

Early Medieval Europe 2006

This readable and authoritative volume covers the history of the Britain and Ireland between 800 and 1100 A.D. Seven chapters contributed by a team of experts cover key of this period, such as the Vikings, monarchies and other political structures, relationships between lords and labourers, developments in trade and urbanization, the christianization of society, the functions and dissemination of writing and scholarship, and relationships between Britain, Ireland and the Mediterranean civilizations to the south. To create a fully-rounded overview of the period, Wendy Davies, the volume's editor, has provided an Introduction giving a geographical context to the chapter narratives and discussing the available source material, and a Conclusion which pulls together the themes and currents running through the individual chapters.
