[EAN: 9780907628323], [PU: Hambledon Press, London and Ronceverte (WV, USA)], ANGLO-SAXN HISTORY, Fine to as new hardcover, fine to as new mylar-protected jacket, handsome silk-finish navy-blue cloth-cover with titles gilt-stamped on spine, as new edges and corners, excellent text-block exterior, orig. owner's name neatly penned to top right inside front-end-paper, otherwise pristine interior handsomely printed on excellent paper, 6.36" x 9.5", 0.54 kg, 240 pp., illustrations, index. James Campbell's work on the Anglo-Saxons -- recognized as being some of the most original of recent writing on the period -- is brought together in this collection, which is both an important contribution to Anglo-Saxon studies in itself and also a pointer to the directions of future research. The Conversion of England is still seen through the eyes of Bede, who, for all his great virtues as a writer and historian, nevertheless wrote to edify and influence. Mr. Campbell examines the 'Ecclesiastical History' in light of Bede's ams and seeks to explain what is omitted and what is emphasized; in other approaches he seeks to interpret some of Bede's views on society and government in the light of his Latin vocabulary. A recurrent theme is that of the connections between England and the Continent, which are shown to have been greater and more influential throughout this period than has usually been assumed. Other subjects are the nature of Anglo-Saxon society, in a paper which appears here in English for the first time; the growth of churches in the towns; the development and maturity of the Anglo-Saxon state, whose organization and unity is shown to have been very considerable and greatly in advance of its neighbors. A final chapter shows the Anglo-Saxons through the eyes of their Norman successors.<
