Opis

Here, Myres looks anew at the dark centuries of English history between the collapse of Roman rule in the early 5th century and the emergence of Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in the 7th and reconsiders the period in light of abundant recent research in the field. Myres illuminates some of the little-understood factors that link Roman Britain with Anglo-Saxon England, and suggests certain political and social continuities that help to clarify this complex and traumatic historical era.
