Description

Early medieval Britain: A Formative Period in History Rory Naismith's introductory textbook explores the period between the end of Roman rule and the eve of the Norman Conquest, providing an engaging narrative and clear explanations of key themes and sources. The book uses extensive illustrations, maps, and selections from primary sources to examine the island as a collective entity, comparing political histories and institutions as well as societies, beliefs, and economies. Each chapter foregrounds questions of identity and the meaning of 'Britain' in this period, encouraging students to interrogate and contextualise sources within the framework of the latest debates and problems. The book features online resources, including timelines, a glossary, end-of-chapter questions, and suggestions for further reading, allowing students to drive their own understanding of how the polities and societies of early medieval Britain fitted together and into the wider world. By studying this period in British history, students can gain a deeper understanding of the formative stages of British history and develop a nuanced understanding of the complexities of early medieval society.
