Description

Time's Anvil: A Personal and Lyrical Exploration of England's History Through Archaeology and Imagination. This book offers a fresh perspective on the history of England, tracing its story through archaeology and the imagination. Richard Morris draws connections between seemingly unrelated subjects, revealing potent links that shed new light on our understanding of the past. From the earliest human roots to the destruction of the wildwood, and from the first farmers to industrialization, Morris explores a wide range of topics that sit at different points along the continuum between epoch and fleeting moment. Through his personal account of archaeology, Morris also reflects on how we read the past and what we bring to our interpretation. The result is a book that defies categorisation, yet will surprise, enthrall and provoke anyone interested in England's history and its people.
