Leichte Randläsuren, einige Seiten weisen leichte Knicke auf, sonst ein gutes und sehr sauberes Exemplar, ohne Anstreichungen / Light edge wear, some pages have slight creases, otherwise a good and very clean copy, no markings. - This third edition of Peter Hunter Blair’s classic account of Anglo-Saxon history includes a new introduction written by Simon Keynes. Between the end of the Roman occupation and the coming of the Normans, England was settled by Germanic races; the kingdom as a political unit was created, heathenism yielded to a vigorous Christian Church, superb works of art were made, and the English language - spoken and written - took its form. These origins of the English heritage are Hunter Blair’s subject. The first two chapters survey Anglo-Saxon England: its wars, its invaders, its peoples and its kings. The remaining chapters deal with specific aspects of its culture: its Church, government, economy and literary achievement. Throughout, the author uses illustrations and a wide range of sources - documents, archaeological evidence and place names - to illuminate the period as a whole. Simon Keynes has also prepared a thoroughly updated bibliography. / CONTENTS List of Illustrations Preface to the Third Edition Preface to the Second Edition Preface to the First Edition Introduction: Changing perceptions of Anglo-Saxon history Simon Keynes CHAPTER I.
